Sources
1. Franklin County Courthouse, Hampton, IA Birth Record, number 152.
2. Marriage Record, Franklin County Courthouse, Hampton, IA, p.168 3. Charles Harold Hofmann, his son, supplied dates and places of birth, death and marriage of his father. Social Security Death Index also has exact dates and places of birth and death..
4. Hofmann marriage recorded in Lake County (IN) Clerk's Office, Book32, p431 The record shows Charles Hoffman and Maude Sweeney married 14 Mar 1918.
5. Eva Maud Mulkins Sweeney Hofmann is assumed to have married a third time between 1924-30 because she is given the surname Malone in 1930 Census in Leyden, Cook, Chicago.
6. The dates and places of birth and death are from a likely candidate found in the SS Index.
7. Leyden is still part of Chicago, but the name only seems to exist in the names of the 2 HS's. It seems to have run between North and Devon along what is now the Des Plaines River Parkway. (About 9800 west and 2800-6400 north) It was east and south of O'Hare airfield which was built after the 1930 census.
