[Erma and Thurston must be the sons of Eva F Myers who married Ola Hunt, but they are probably not his sons. Thurston's obit mentions his brothers, Harley and Orda Hunt (sons of Ola and Eva) and half brothers, Fred and Webb Larch, sons of Charles N Larch. Are Thurston and Erma sons of Charles and Eva??]
