  Family	Dorothy Goodwin,   b. Abt 1898, NY ,   d. Yes, date unknown
  Married	1916  [2, 5, 8]
  	[From the 1930 census record, Dorothy was first married at age 19 (abt 1917), Rea at age 33 (abt 1914). When Rea registered for the WWI draft in 1918, he recorded Dorothy as his wife. Their first child is reported as being born in 1918. I have therefore assigned their marriage date as about 1917, although it could be as early as 1914.]
