Points regarding the children

• very possibly currently live males in Zanesville for DNA testing.
• Garnet's obituary has these facts: "In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her parents; five brothers, George, Roy, Frank, Ray and Ed Messerly; three sisters, Elsie Paxson, Lucille Davis and Ruth DeWees; and one niece, Elsie Paxson Barr."
