The photo copy of the marriage license includes: "Marriage may be celebrated between Mr Charles W Bailey of Evansville in the County of Vanderburg and State of Indiana of the age of 23 years, and Miss[?] Linda Lindquist of Highland Park in the County of ___ and the State of Illinois of the age of 34 years."

According to Louise Bailey(note accompanying some Willoughby tree correspondence):
Charles and Linda had twins - a boy and a girl. Photo of Linda and infant twins outside tent while building their house, in Monterey, CA, shows children names- Earl and Adnil Lorraine. The boy died at 8 yrs - was kicked in the temple while sitting on a retaining wall at school, by a player in a kick ball game.
This is inconsistent with death certificate, listing cause of death as tuberculosis and meningitis.
