Note that # of years married does not make sense since -see 1910 census- or James Forbs father of all children including Frank Mays. I think that the crossed out 50 on his line was the # of years since he was first married and 46 the number of years from when she was first married. Roxie did have 5 living children., Principal=Roxey Jane Keaton, Principal=James M. Forbs3
