Narrative

After their marriage in late July 1930, I have been unable to find further records for Lester Durr or his wife Edna (Schearer) Durr, other than their US Social Security Death Index records from 1979 and 1983, respectively. I have not found either of them in the 1940 US Census, nor have I found more specific death or burial information. I have also not found any confirmed information on whether the two of them had children or even remained married until Lester's death in 1979.
