from correspondence withi Edna McNellis:

"On Ancestry.com someone put up a picture they labeled Ovie W. Woolverton and Lena Odessa McLaughlin - I have serious doubts that it is Ovie and Odessa based on the age of the couple shown and the fact that by the 1920 Census Odessa and Ovie were divorced (Ovie would have been 35 years old in 1920). If the picture is really of Ovie then my guess is that the woman is actually Edith."
