Bio
This is simply to document his marriage to Clyde Spraggins: Clyde Spraggins Rogers said on the 1930 census that she was 18 when first married and that would have been to Frank Rogers in about 1925. Following Frank's death in 1934, she married Helidora (Hallie) Kovar (#20351544) and is enumerated with him and his mother, Annie Kovar, in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas, on April 8, 1940. When Helidora died on February 13, 1947, his wife was not listed among the survivors in his obituary. Only his mother; his brother, Harry Kovar; and a sister, Mrs. C. L. Youngblood were listed as survivors. This can indicate that the couple were no longer together for whatever reason, but usually means divorce. Helidora died from delirium tremens. Clyde next married Paris E. Murry in Arkansas on May 23, 1950, and her place of residence was Little Rock. She married as Clyde Kovar. Paris did not die until 1979 (#63970420), but Clyde next married Richard M. Leahey (died January 23, 1988) on March 18, 1959 in San Francisco County, California as Clyde Spraggins. Finally she married Lloyd R. Swonger on November 8, 1969 in Reno, Nevada, as Clyde S. Kovar. The informant for her death certificate was her son, Edward Rogers, not her husband Lloyd Swonger. Lloyd is buried in Englewood Cemetery, Englewood, California (#78664526).
