     Nancy Ida Lam was born in 1887.1 She married John Laverne Allen, son of John Allen and Rebecca Elizabeth Goodwin, sometime between 1924 and 1930 (see below). She died on 20 August 1964 at the Parkview Rest Home in Iola, Allen Co., Kansas.8 She was buried on 24 August 1964 at Highland Cemetery in Iola, Allen Co., Kansas.1,6
     The identification of John Laverne Allen's second wife as Nancy Ida Lam is based on a variety of sources. First, the name Nancy comes from their shared grave marker,1 John's World War II draft registration,3 the 1940 census,2 and their obituaries9,8 (neither obituary names a spouse, but both give their home as 316 S. Fourth St. in Iola). The surname Lam is based on two obituaries. Nancy's obituary names (among others) a brother Everette Lam and sisters Mrs. erna [sic] M. Holman and Mrs. Cora Haynie,6 and Verna Mae (Lam) Holman's obituary names her parents as Peter Sylvester Lam and America Bond.7 Finally, her middle name of Ida is based on (1) her entry in the 1930 census, which gives her name as Ida N. Allen5; (2) her father Peter's obituary, which names a daughter Ida Allen4; and (3) legal notices in Iola newspapers concerning her estate, which give her name as Nancy I. Allen, with Cora J. Haynie as the petitioner.10 It should be noted that the Andrus genealogy gives her name as Nancy Jones, not Nancy Lam.11 But, she had been previously married (the 1930 census gives her age at first marriage as 18). Perhaps Jones was the name of her previous husband.
     She and her husband John are listed in Wichita, Sedgwick Co., Kansas, in the 1930 census.5 They moved to a farm a few miles southeast of Iola, Allen Co., Kansas, about 19349, where they are listed in the 1940 census2, then into the town of Iola in 1948.9,8
