Plausible mother of Leonard Curran Darnell whose birth name could have been Leonard Curran, although, Vivian's husband George Leonard Darnell was always called Len and it seems the first son was given the dad's name. But this is just seemingly..Plausible mother of Leonard Curran who was adopted by my gram, who was probably a neighbor. I know my family/Darnells/Wilsons/ knew the Curran family in Kentucky. All were in Fort Mitchell at one time. My gram Vivian B Asbury Darnell. My gram seems to be adopted and lived with and called mom and dad to Nancy Elizabeth Grubbs and Franklin Peirce Grubbs. I still can't figure out Vivian's parents but it's plausible Vivian was lonely and determined to get her own family because her first two kids, Marie Darnell Wilson and Leonard Curran Darnell were adopted/acquired. Then came my dad, her biological son she has with George Leonard Darnell.

Mary Alice Collins Osten [I'd write her name as Mary Alice Curran Collin Osten] to be more clear.

Wife of Harry Collins and Jack J. Osten
