                   OCCUPATION:
    Bookkeeper

Per U.S. Census of 1920, form dated 5 JAN 1920, came from Indiana as did also
both parents. Occupation was bookeeper in the Hotel industry. He was aged 34 on
last birthday, so must have been born in 1885. Was renting a home (house?) at
517 South Border (Street?). This info from Ward Six, E 1/2, Hot Springs,
Garland County, Arkansas microfiche roll near end of roll.

Did not get along with spouse Nellie Pearl Alford's father, the judge. Left
family to go to Texas(?). Died in car accident(?). Age at time of Gary James
Powers Sr.'s birth was 39, per Gary's birth cert.

The Marriage Record Index for Garland County, Arkansas shows that in Book Q,
page 528 there is a record of a marriage between Alva O. Powers, age 25, and
Nellie Pearl Powers, age 21, on Nov. 26, 1910.

Curiosity: the Marriage Record Index mentioned in the paragraph just above also
lists a marriage on 13 Nov 1935 between an A. O. Powers, age 47, and Flora E.
Hall, age 31, to be found in Book 40, page 28. Alva would have been fifty years
old.
