About Lloyd's middle name.....

Over 100 family trees on Ancestry have Lloyd's middle name as James. It is Johnson. I am unable to find a single historical document that has James as the middle name. On the other hand, I find numerous documents that have the middle name as Johnson:

1) The birth record for Lloyd has his middle name as Johnson.

2) California Voting Registrations have Johnson as the middle name.

3) The delayed birth certificates for both daughters, Velma and Hattie, give Lloyd's full name as Lloyd Johnson Hicks.

Yearbook photo of Helen McLachlan - 1927 - Univ of Iowa, Iowa City, IA

Helen Agnes McLachlan Hicks, 87, of Santa Maria, Calif., an Iowa City native, died April 16 at her home after a long illness. There will be no services. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society.

Mrs. Hicks was born Feb. 20, 1907, in Iowa City to Thomas and Mary Helen (Matous) McLachlan. She received her master's degree from the University of Iowa. She married Clifford L. Hicks in 1937 and moved to Santa Maria in 1938.

She taught speech for two years each in Iowa and Salinas, Calif. She also worked as a secretary and office manager for the Sinton and Brown Feedlot for 27 years before retiring.

She was a past president and life member of the American Association of University Women and Soroptomist Club, a life member of the UI Medical Center Constituent Society and the UI Alumni Association, and a member of Santa Maria Minerva Club and Santa Maria Senior Citizen Club. She was an honorary member of the Pioneer Association.

Survivors include two brothers, Thomas Martin McLachlin of North Liberty and Edward J. McLachlin of Horseshoe Bend, Ark.; two nieces and three nephews. Her husband and one sister died earlier.

m. Merwyn Claude Ballard - (b. Aug 17, 1907, San Francisco, San Francisco Co., CA, son of Claudsey Orlando Ballard and Lola Jane Mylar; d. Aug 10, 1985, Sacramento Co., CA. Married again at least 3-4 times. Wife in obituary was named Diana) - ca 1929

Of note: There is another Velma E Ballard living in Salinas during the 1950's - 1970's. The other Velma, nee Brown was married to James Robert Ballard in 1955. At first, I thought Velma had married another Ballard. But after I looked into James Robert Ballard's 2003 obituary which gives his survivor as wife Velma E. Which could not be Velma Hicks, because she died in 1992.
