John Homer Wynn

• General Notes
  • Homer and Leota announced they had been married a month, which was news,
    butnot surprising, as they had been dating for some time. They were
    married in Burlington, Kansas, on March 10, 1934, accompanied by their
    good friends Gladys and Norman. I believe they stayed awhile with the
    folks, and that was mostcomforting at that time, with the loss of our
    brother (walter mitchell wynn d. 4/1934)
    Nearly two years later, Homer and Leota had lost their baby, stillborn.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    They were living on a farm west of Lone Elm. Their crops were ruined and
    so they returned, to make their home in the north part of the folks
    house, for a while.
    (1938) Homer and Leota, with baby Veda Jo were living on Leota's family
    
    
    
    
    
    
    place north of Colony KS. Leota had attended school near by, now they
    were back, farming the land. Karen Sue was born March 17, 1941.
