SO I’m looking for info on May L. Baker’s first husband. His last name is Bruner or Brunner (hey, you didn’t think it’d start out easy?). They were married prior to the birth of daughter Bertha Beatrice in 1917 and divoriced before 1920 according to the 1920 Grant County Oklahoma census. May later marries Sylvester Wright and they move to Osage County Kansas. May’s parents are John L. Baker and Emma C. (Amy) Tucker. She has a brother Hiram Baker also.

edit: per Bertha Brunner obit, his name was Ross Brunner, wife was Mae Elizabeth.
