In 1940:Charley FREEZE is listed as married, living at Bishop Addition, Justice Precinct, Young Co, TX

With his and Effie's 3 children, C., B., and W. (same names as those in Effie Lee Cole Freeze HOGAN's Finda Grave). He has a Housekeeper, Lila Rogers, age 22.

Now moving to the Charles FREEZE who died in 1954 Alameda, wife Jonnie R Cantrell.
There is this - unproven as far as it presents online - maybe they've just presumed the California death is correct...
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Freeze-376Combined actual records show that:
Charles FREEZE married Johnnie Roslette CANTRELL in 1925 in Archer Cty, TX - when she was only 14* (according to her Census in 1930).
Charles being born 1909, would therefore only be about 16 in 1925.
They had a son born 1928.
By 1930, Johnnie has moved on, remarried.
(* Recalling, that Pearl Miller stated in a census that she first ever married at age 13!)Here's the trail:
DEATH CERT 1980Lynwood Clifford DUNCAN
Born 21 Feb 1928 in Texas, died 30 Jan 1980, Beaumont, Jefferson TX
Parents : William S DUNCAN and Jonnie CANTRELL
Informant: Jonnie DUNCAN.
He was born FREEZE:BIRTH 1928: Tarrant Co., TXClifford Lynwood FREEZE b 21 Feb 1928
Mother: Jonnie Roslette CANTRELL
Father: Charlie FREEZE
It appears that in 1961, Clifford's mother Jonnie applied to have the details of his birth 'filled in.
Original document:
Un-named FREEZE, born 21 Feb 1928, Fort Worth, Tarrant, TX
Mother: Jonnie CANTRELL
Correct Information:
Child: Clifford Lynwood FREEZE
Mother: Jonnie Roslette CANTRELL
Correction on affidavit 1961, by Mrs Jonnie DUNCAN.
With details from Certificate of Marriage: Charles FREEZE and Jonnie CANTRELL 18 Oct 1925, Archer Cy, TX
In 1930 CENSUS , Fort Worth TXHead: Brody L FISHER 21, b Tennessee (parents TN & KY), Truck Driver, Ice Company
Wife: Johnnie FISHER 19, b Texas (parents TX), Sandwiches, Lunch Factory
Step-Son: Clifford L FREEZE 2½, b TX (parents TX)
Brody was first married at age 21
Johnnie was first married at age 14
So I'm thinking Charley FREEZE aka, Charles Lawson FREEZE
Married 1) 1925 to Johnnie R CANTRELL, 1 son Clifford. Divorced by 1929. She remarried twice.
Married 2) 1929 to Effie Lee COLE, 3 children. By 1940, he's alone with kids, she remarried 1941.
Does this still firmly place Charles died 1954, out of your picture?
