Open questions touching these claims

When and where did Paul T. Fleenor and Emily Symons marry, and are 1 Jan 1913 and 17 Sep 1915 their record birth dates? The marriage is bounded only by Patricia's birth at Evanston in February 1933, so it was before 1933; the 1950 census schedule gives Paul's birth state as Iowa and Emily's as Illinois, and Paul's death in 1990 is now corroborated by two tier-2 sources. Both exact days still come from Find a Grave metadata only, and a 1 January birth is a common index placeholder.

FamilySearch "Illinois, County Marriages, 1810–1940" (post-1877 registers name the parties' parents) for FLEENOR–SYMONS, Cook County, 1930–1933, then the Cook County Clerk genealogy index as the paid fallback, then Iowa county marriages if Cook County is empty. Cook County birth certificates for Emily (1915), Patricia (1933) and Joan (1934), each of which names the parents and Paul's birthplace. Emily's 1975 Denver death certificate, and the Littleton Independent of July 1975 — the Denver Public Library's 1975–1979 obituary index has no Fleenor entry. For Paul, the Rocky Mountain News item of 17 December 1990 and his Colorado death certificate (question:paul-fleenor:parentage). Promote the marriage claim and the exact birth and death days only from those records; nothing opened names Paul's parents.
