Zelma was born April 4 1919 and 2 days later her mother died.
Fred, grief stricken and thinking the tiny infant would not live
gave
the baby to a childless couple to raise. Zelma often said she
was
alive by the Grace of God and the love of Clara Godfrey

the Godfrey line connects when Sylvanus's father married Louisa
COLLINS.
