Electia(or Electra?) Springer, 1860-1944
Hello Folks. I'm a Dallas area resident who became interested in my family's background and started researching over the summer.
I have a pretty good basic knowledge of my mother's family, but my dad's side remains a mystery for the most part.
However, though, I recently received a very helpful tidbit from somebody on the forums(thank you, Rita!), that seems to match my grandmother's family to a T.
Here's what I have right now:

And:
"Ralph C Powell 47, b.Iowa, Occup: ticket agent-RR
Elizabeth Powell 44, b.Iowa
Park Powell 22, Truck driver-laundry
Ralph D Powell 20, shoe salesman-retail store
Marguerite E Powell 14
Edmund C Powell 12
Marjorie Powell 10
Norma Jean Powell 7
Eleanor Patricia Powell 4
Electia Springer 79, b.IL, Mother-in-law to head, Wd
Children were all born in NE."
Last minute edit-
It seems I've come across what could be a big potential lead:

If anyone can help me further verify this information, I'd appreciate this very much.
Thanks for reading. =)
