Research notes
Working notes from the research, kept verbatim — what was read, what it proved, what stays open.
Research note · 6 Aug 2026
AUDITED 6 Aug 2026 — ◎ A SECOND MARRIAGE IS MISSING FROM THIS RECORD, AND THE GAP IS BOUNDED.
This record holds TWO spouse families: F24 with [68] Thomas Lewis Latane Temple (married 24 Dec 1910, Miller Co., Ark.; DIVORCED 4 Apr 1925, Miller Co., Ark.) and F25 with [354] Edgar Howard Donaldson (married 21 Feb 1939, Pulaski Co., Ark.). Both dates are read from this database.
★ The 1961 Feild compilation of Texarkana pioneer family histories (extracted text held in ancestry/sources/; recorded in ancestry/db-write-queue.md, where it was matched field-by-field against this database with four independent agreements) numbers DONALDSON her THIRD husband and TEMPLE her FIRST. ☞ Two spouse families are therefore an INCOMPLETE record, not a complete one, and this note exists so that the omission does not read as completeness.
☞ THE UNIDENTIFIED SECOND HUSBAND MARRIED HER BETWEEN 4 APR 1925 AND 21 FEB 1939. Her residence facts inside that window are Texarkana, Ark. (1927) and Nacogdoches, Texas (1935); she is at Los Angeles, Calif. by 1 Apr 1940.
⛔ HE IS NOT IDENTIFIED. No name, no date and no place is asserted here — the Feild compilation does not name him, and no record naming him has been read.
★ NAMED NEXT DOCUMENT: THE 1930 CENSUS. This record carries census citations for 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1940 and NONE for 1930 (measured in this database, 6 Aug 2026) — consistent with her being enumerated in 1930 under the unknown surname. Her children [106] Helen Hal Christine Temple (b. 7 Dec 1911) and [69] Thomas Lewis Latane Temple (b. 12 Dec 1914) would be in that household and would still be surnamed Temple, which is the way in.
⛔ INSTRUMENT NOTE, 6 Aug 2026: two FamilySearch record searches were run for this and BOTH FAILED TO BIND THEIR FILTERS — a given-name search returned 12,507 rows, and a 1925-1939 Arkansas marriage search returned 5,686 rows that were all GenealogyBank obituaries of 1980-2015. Those are INSTRUMENT FAILURES, not evidence of absence, and nothing in this note rests on them.
⛔ ALSO OBSERVED, NOT ACTIONED: family F25 carries TWO Marriage events (E8086 dated 21 Feb 1939 and E8087 undated), same place, which is a duplicate-fact defect awaiting a decision.
