  • Notes 
    • Since no children are found in any of the census entries, it seems unlikely that May & Jere have any children.

      There area a number of newspaper references to Jere H Cason and Mrs Cason in Mexia, Texas throughout the 1920s. In 1924, there is a notice that Mrs. Cason was summoned to her mother's sick bed in San Antonio. Her parents did, in fact, live in San Antonio at that time. So, this could very well be them. I initially did not think it was since he seemed young to be the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. But Mexia isn't really a big place, so maybe so.

      Following through all the newspaper stories in Mexia, Jere & May were clearly in Mexia during at leats 1924 & 1925. There is a reference to Jere moving his family from one home to another. That might indicate a child, but by 1930, there was no child in the home.

      There are also numerous trips to San Antonio for May to her mother's sick bed.

      I would still like to find a marriage record for Jere & May. Could have been in Mexia or more likely was in Huntsville, where May was living with Jere's parents.

      In 1920, city directories show Jere in Wichita Falls but does not mention May. In 1921, he is working in Dallas. No mention of May. But, by 1930, he is working in Ft. Worth and married. The two of them are listed in the 1928 city directory as well. Not in Dallas or Ft Worth in 1923 or 1922.
