Narrative

Lorena's marital history is a little unclear from the lack of available records, but it appears she was living on her on in Springfield, Sangamon Cty, Illinois in 1910 (at age seventeen), and then married Joseph Nelson Imlay the following year. Their two children were born in 1912 and 1917, and in 1920 the family of four was living in Springfield together.

Sometime between 1920 and 1927, Lorena and Joseph appear to have divorced; he died in Springfield in 1927, married to Anne Ve Winchell according to his death record. Lorena, though, lived with her parents and her two children in 1930 in Springfield, and sometime after 1930 she remarried to the Massachusetts-born Lucius Irving Withington. In 1940, the two of them resided in Oak Park, Cook Cty, Illinois, until her death in 1947 in Chicago. Her second husband appears to have moved back to Massachusetts, where he passed away in 1969.
