In a 1933 edition of the Fresno Bee it was reported that a woman by the name of Geneva MASON FRANKLIN was seeking an annulment or her marriage to a man she knew as Cecil FRANKLIN. They married in 1930 and she had given birth to a child for whom she was seeking financial support - a mere $35 per month in the midst of the Great Depression. She had learned that her husband's real name was Franklin CLAMPITT/aka Cecil Franklin CLAMPITT and that he was married to another woman. (He was also known to use the name Jim CLAMPITT.) These individuals are deceased, but I am anxious to learn any bit of information regarding them or their child (who would now be approximately 77 years old, if living) no matter how insignificant it may seem.

Cecil FRANKLIN CLAMPITT lived in Texas rather briefly and various locales throughout the state of California, including San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Woodland, Marysville-Yuba City, Fresno - and perhaps points in between - throughout most of his life.

Cecil Franklin CLAMPITT, b. 4 Nov 1905 in Claiborne Parish, LA, d. 18 Nov 1976 in Yolo Co., CA, is without question the person referred to in the newspaper article - and his conduct should not be attributed to any other person having the same or a similar name.

Note: All persons having close association with this man who could be embarrassed by a public posting, including siblings, known wives, and known children (with the exception of the poster) are deceased.
