Robert M Powers was the son of James H Powers and Mona L McIndoe. He began living with his sister Alice Lucille 'Powers' Widrick when he was 13. He had been living in an orphanage. He was the blood son of James H. In reference to earlier beliefs that Alice was not actually the child of James H. and that Isabelle Holligton his first wife had a child from a native person and James H raised it as his own is quite unbelieveable. Robert M is the half brother of my Dads mother.
