The Teresa Frain and Elmer Pittman Family in the South Bend, Indiana Census Records
Teresa Frain was the daughter of John Frain and Catherine Holden, who were two close friends of my second great grandparents Martin Brennan and Catherine Corcoran.
Please contact me if you are related to this family. I would be more than happy to share more information on this family.
It appears that Elmer and his wife Theresa Frain were divorced sometime before the 1910 census was conducted. Elmer is further documented in the 1920 ward 2, District 232 census living with the Oscar Heintzelman family and is listed as a divorced father in Law (Oscar's wife is listed as Alma). There was a listing for Alma Heintzelman in the Social Security Death Index SSN 309 48 00111 residing at 46628 South Bend, Indiana born January 4, 1894 and Died March 1986 in Indiana.
