Father	Merlin Douglas Masten, b. 21 Dec 1887, Boque Chitto, Lincoln County, Mississippi, United States d. 5 Mar 1962, Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington, United States (Age 74 years)
Mother	Lois Miranda Stiles, b. 4 Mar 1885, Thrall, Williamson County, Texas, United States d. 19 May 1975, El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States (Age 90 years)
Marriage License	26 Dec 1911	Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, United States [9]
Marriage	27 Dec 1911	_______, Williamson County, Texas, United States [9]
Divorce	Aft 17 Aug 1927	El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, United States [10]
Notes	17 Aug 1927 is the date that the divorce petition was recorded in the El Paso Herald. Presumably Lois Miranda (Stiles) Masten’s divorce from Merlin was granted sometime afterwards. [10] The marriage license contained in source [Williamson-1911] does not list the actual location where Merlin Douglas Masten and Lois Miranda Stiles were married. It does, however, list Lois’ middle name as “Marina” rather than “Miranda”. This fact has significant implications since almost all contemporary genealogical sources and accounts of family members agree that her middle name was Miranda. The name Miranda, though, is not yet supported by any vital records. An additional primary source is required to substantiate the family’s belief. [9]

Notes

Juanita Frances Masten was born “Frances E Masten,” and numerous census records refer to her this way. Her name was legally changed sometime sometime after the age of 7, and most Stiles family compilations including [Stiles-1986] and [Stiles-1998] refer to her with the former name. [4, 8, 11]
[US-SSA-SSDI] lists 26 Jul 1994 as Juanita’s death date, but this is probably her date of burial. [3]
