Family of Harold B WESTERVELT and Isabel Cornelia TALMON

Harold B WESTERVELT b. 1891 Jun 9¹³²⁷ at New York³⁵⁶. d. 1976 Nov⁹² at prob New Rochelle, New York⁹².
Isabel Cornelia TALMON b. 1891~¹³³⁵.

Married¹³³⁵ 1908 Aug 10¹³³⁵.

In 1900³⁵⁶, Harold's birthdate is listed as June 1892. However, his WWI draft reg card²²¹ and the Social Security Death Index⁹² corroborate the Westervelt Genealogy¹³²⁷.

In 1910³⁵⁸, Harold, who works at a drug store, is listed as married for 1 year. However, his wife does not appear in that record. The explanation¹³³⁵ is that Harold had been a schoolmate of young Isabel Cornelia Talman, who lived with her aunt opposite O'Rourke's drug store in Whitestone, where Harold worked. Apparently seeing one another frequently, they eloped on August 10, 1908, and were married by Methodist minister. Eighteen days later, they had their first quarrel and both came to the conclusion that their marriage had been a mistake. The bride returned to her aunt's home and Harold continued as a clerk in the drug store. As described in the referenced article, Isabel applied for annulment late in 1909.

In 1920¹³³⁸, Harold, a druggist at a drug store, is (still) listed as married but is (apparently) living alone.
