!Jan 1912: "I think the reason they came to Colorado was mother's divorce from Louva's father Floyd McKee. That was a real disgrace in the earlier years. They came to Montrose because Grandpa Troutman's cousin George Headington lived here. Mother was 20 years old. Louva was born Nov 5, 1911 and they came to Montrose in January of 1912. Clive Henry Melville Nelson and Alice Ann Troutman McKee were married June 15, 1914." From a letter from Lois Morlang in the Troutman file.
