Arthur Decker married but did not have any children. My grandfather Lester Paul Decker was married twice. His first wife, my grandmother, died in the 1930's after the birth of my mother, Paula Decker. He remarried and had three sons, Arthur, Carl, and Richard.

The name of my great grandfather was Lester Decker.
I hope that helps.

It is my understanding that Arthur had no children. Can you verify the name of Arthur and Lester Paul's father?

Hello. I am the great granddaughter of Ethel and James Orwell. Ethel died in 1991 at the age of 99 years. Ethel's son Paul (Lester Paul Decker) is my mother's father. Please feel free to email me if I can provide you with any additional information.

James and Ethel Orwell - 1930 Census, Butte, Montana.
James was born in Arizona. Ethel had two children from first marriage, Arthur J. Decker and Paul L. Decker. Ethel's maiden name was Davey.

I cannot find anything past 1930 except for Arthur J. Decker marrying in 1942 in Seattle, Washington. At that time James and Ethel were still in Butte. But they are not in the 1945 City Directory for Butte, nor can I find them in the Montana death index.
