Welcome:
I decided to experiment
with this page. putting
everyone on the page at
once, all three spouses
and their children.
Raymond was born in
Winsor, Henry County,
Missouri in 1911. The
twelveth child of Frannk
and Cora Houk.
The 1920 Census shows him
as a 9 year old attending
school.
Enlistment Date:
2 Sep 1943
Enlistment State:
Kansas
Enlistment City:
Fort Levenworth
Grade: Private
Raymond Had three wives.
The first was Lillian
Easter Hesse. Married
01 May 1929 in Reedley
Fresno California. To
this union was born a
daughter and son.
The son died at birth.
I can only assume the
death of the boy caused
their breakup.
Lillian married two more
times. first in 1933 to
Emil Bridge and had two
children. Than in 1961
to Joseph P Mulford.
Lillian passed away in
Tulare Co California on
07 December 1986.
The second was Ida Grace
Ghan.
Ida Grace was born on
August 8 1920 For what
ever reason at the age of
9 she was living in
Indiana with Her mother's
brother Franklin Thomas
Gibson's family. The 1930
Census listed Ida as niece.
On 18 July 1938 Ida
married Raymond D Houk
in Jackson County Missouri.
They had two Children.
However their union did not
Last. By 1946 She married
again to James Cecil Waldon.
Ida died on 02 July 2001 in
Kansas City Jackson Co
Missouri
The third wife was
Rosalie Opal Rolland.
Born to Jessie Bert and
Ethel M Rowland in Missouri
