This is Selena Ethel Dunn who was married to Marshall's brother Richard. Richard died in 1937, and apparently Selena married Marshall before April 1940. [e.d. 74-36, sheet 2A, household #28]. Note: There is also W. A. Whisenhunt, age 30, single, born in Texas in the household. He is listed as "son" to Marshall. I have no information concerning this person.
