Theodore Wampler and Ethel Bagwell

Using the information, provided in Eugene "Ted" Wampler's obituary, I am able to share the following additional information about his family:

Eugene W. Wampler was the son of Theodore Wampler and Ethel Bagwell, daughter of Milburn Bagwell and Eates Sawder (mother's name taken from Ethel's marriage license application). Theodore and Ethel were married October 1927 in Clark County, Indiana. Theodore was the son of Hugh Wampler and Cordelia "Delia" Prince.

There were no dependents or children listed on Theodore and Ethel Wampler's 1930 US Census report. On their 1940 US Census they listed three children: Betty J., Virginia M., and Eugene W. Wampler. According the US Social Security Death Index, Theodore Wampler died September 1987 in Monroe County, Indiana.

On the Wampler-Wampfler Database website there is only the following information provided about Hugh "Huey" Wampler (1864-1964) and Cordelia "Delia" Prince's (1884-1964) children:

My research has Christina Wampler (1912-2006) married to Willie (William) A. Hall (1900-1976). For Elizabeth Wampler (1904-?) I have her spouse being Ezra Moore (1898-?). That is how far I've gotten, so far, with the Theodore Wampler's sisters.
