• Notes

  According to John H Winder:«u»«b» Bess W. Winders «/u»«/b» (1883-1944) was born 17 December 1883 in Sycamore, DeKalb County, Illinois and grew up there, attended the University of Illinois for two years (1901-1903) and then on 25 Aug 1909, married «u»John B. Laskey «/u» . In the 1910 census the couple were living with her parents in Sycamore, both listed as "Occupation: none." They had a daughter, «u»Ruth W. Laskey «/u», who was born on 4 July 1910 in Sycamore, but apparently the marriage did not prosper, since by 1918 Ruth was living in Santa Barbara with her parents and her daughter, but without John Laskey. For awhile she ran an 'auto livery' service and in the 1930 census she was listed as a chauffeur working for a private party. Bess died 18 April 1944 and is buried in Santa Barbara Cemetery, as is her daughter Ruth (died 26 August 1987). [1]
