It was only in May 1995 thru an exchange of letters with first cousin Reba Wanda Carpenter (Benedetto) who was raised with half sisters Alma and Alta in Batesville, and with whom Grandmother Felts lived out her declining years that I was informed that Dad had been "secretly" married while in medical school to Addie Story (Sept. 1912, his age 23). Reportedly, Addie died (from influenza or other form of respiratory infection only four months later (Jan. 1913), during an epidemic. According to Reba, grandmother Felts had discouraged the marriage "until dad finished medical school” but they didn't wait. Neither parent ever mentioned her to me, so I am uncertain of the extent of awareness of the brief union, including my mother.
