Note: On the 1920 federal census of Colorado Springs, Lewis and Lida Law are listed with their daughter Edith, age 20, and a grandson, Lewis H. Law, age 8.

See the two newspaper articles under William E. Law's 1911 marriage which document that he and Florence M Derry were actually the parents of Lewis Herbert Law. DLB 2022.
