Notes for Everett LaVerne & Melva Almeda (Family)
I have found two dates of marriage for Melva and Everett L. Saulls. However, in the Idaho marriages, 1842-1996 Everett L. Saulls is listed as Godfrey.
The other date I have for their marriage is 12 Jul 1928. This came from Everett’s obituary. His wife died first and I have no idea who gave the inforamtion to the paper.
