• Notes	Pat McCallister notes: Born in the log house - nickname: Judge - Judgie - so called because someone said he looked like old Judge so-and-so. Judge was hurt in the car wreck that killed Dorothy. Later he had part of the leg below the knee removed. He did not like the artificial one and hardly wore it.
