Both a cousin (and fellow researcher) and I are puzzled about something. We found Idella (Della) Bird Edwards living with the Sovine family in Putnam County in 1940 census. This was after the death of her husband, Richard Lee Edwards in 1936 and before she married Jack Fanin later in 1940. Sovine is spelled wrong in the census (as Savine) None of our elder family members who are still living know who they are or why Della was there. Is this even the correct Della Edwards?
Is there anyone here who knows why Della was there and who this Sovine family is? I have a copy of the page if you want to look at it and do not have access to the census.
