    Notes 
    • Or Emmaline.

      She is shown in the 1930 census as having been 24 years old when she was first married.

      As Nancy Emily Lant, b. 10 Dec 1891, d. 2 Dec 1981, in Marion County, Oregon, she was the spouse of Lester. Her SS# was issued in North Dakota before 1951.

      According to one of her granddaughters: “Her parents were Moses Darby and Mary Bell Clayburn, born in Missouri and had 3 brothers and a sister. She married William Gustaf Anderson who was a widower with 5 living children. She had one son of her own from a previous relationship. Together they had 8 more children, my mother being one of them. After Grandpa died, Grandma Nancy married Lester Lant. She outlived Lester and remained a widow until she died in 1981, lacking 8 days of being 90 years old.”

      According to another granddaughter: “Nancy Emmaline Darby Anderson Lant was never married before marrying William Gustav Anderson. She had a baby boy fathered by Andrew Lee in 1917, but Andrew had a wife and family and left her immediately to go back to his family. Nancy was devastated, but loved her baby and raised him by herself until she married Bill who treated him as his own.”
