(Note: His daughter, Lavern G. Pratt, age 16, single is living with her grandparents, Orlon Graham. Pratt and Amy Williamson Pratt, and is listed with them in the 1930 census. The 1930 census says that Lavern and her parents were born in Utah. (she was born about 1914). That brings up the question of why she was living with her grandparents and had the other children been farmed out also? I cannot find the other children cannot be found in the1930 census.
