Research status

Research status: PROBABLE, accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence, and added to the tree on his approval of 30 September 2026. Her place as mother of Alice Lorene Piland is read from census images: in 1930 at Austin the relationship column names Alice Lorena, 15, as her daughter S924 Confirmed; her birth, death and parents rest on the index of her death certificate S907. Added 30 September 2026

Evidence: In 1920 in Hays County, read from the image, Mabel, 24, is the wife of Orvin O. Piland with their daughter Alice L., 5; in 1930 at Austin, read from the image, Mable Piland, 34, a widow, heads the household with her daughter Alice Lorena, 15, and her mother Virginia Logue, 62; in 1950 she is Mabel L. Piland, mother-in-law, in Thomas O. Caffey's household; the index of her Texas death certificate gives her birth on 31 October 1895 at Galveston, her death on 13 April 1961 at Austin, and her father as D. C. Logue. Weak or missing: The death certificate is read from its index only, not the image; it gives Galveston as her birthplace while the 1900 census has the family in Waco; a FamilySearch birth index for her daughter calls her Mabel Larrimore Logue, and the Larrimore name has not been explained.

Open questions what is probable, weak or missing — confirm or correct it

Weak or missing
What is weak or missing: the death certificate is read from its index only, so her birth at Galveston, her death date and her father’s name have not been seen on the image; the 1900 census that puts her in the Logue household at Waco is now read from the image, and her elder sister Leola’s death certificate, read from the image, puts Leola’s own birth at Galveston in November 1892 S1113, so the family seems to have lived at Galveston in the early 1890s, between the 1890 Alabama marriage and the 1900 Waco census; FamilySearch’s birth index for her daughter calls her “Mabel Larrimore Logue”, and where the Larrimore name comes from has not been found

  1. S5181950 U.S. Federal Census — Thomas O. Caffey household, Austin, Travis County, Texas. Ancestry record 191581182. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Thomas O., 40, city fireman; wife Alice L., 35; two sons; mother-in-law Mabel L. Piland, 54.
  2. S621Travis County, Texas, marriage record, licence no. 1008, 1935. Ancestry record 40751477. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Mr. T. O. Caffey and Miss Alice Piland, licensed 14 December 1935; married 15 December 1935 by H. C. Morrison, pastor of East Avenue Baptist Church, Austin.
  3. S9061900 U.S. census — D. C. Logue household, Waco, Texas. Ancestry collection 7602, record 43883385. Waco Ward 1, McLennan County: D. C. Logue, 42, head; his wife Virginia A., 32, born July 1867 in Tennessee, married ten years; daughter “Mable”, 4, born October 1895 in Texas. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 30 September 2026: ED 71, sheet 1B, 1609 North 6th Street. Probable On the image: Logue, D. C., born November 1857, grocery salesman; Virginia A., born July 1867, Tennessee, married ten years, the mother of five children, four living; Ethel, born January 1891 in Alabama; Leola; Mable, born October 1895; Hazel; Halbert, born February 1900. The image agrees with the index. It gives D. C.’s birth as November 1857, a year before the 24 November 1858 of his Find a Grave memorial [S909]; Ethel’s Alabama birth in 1891 fits the 1890 Calhoun County marriage [S908].
  4. S907Texas death certificate index — Mabel Logue Piland, 13 April 1961, Austin. Ancestry record 23640738. Born 31 October 1895, Galveston; died 13 April 1961, Austin, Travis County; father D. C. Logue. Probable Read from the index only; the certificate image has not been examined. The Galveston birthplace sits against the 1900 Waco household (S906); the family may have moved. Second citation, added 1 October 2026: the Texas state death index for 1961, page 971, Ancestry record 5099606, image examined, reads “PILAND MABEL LOGUE | TRAVIS | APR 13 | 24560”, the same death and file number. It is still an index; the certificate itself, with her birthplace and parents, has not been seen.
  5. S9101920 U.S. census — Piland household, Hays County, Texas. Ancestry collection 6061, record 43429362 (the page image is also reached through record 43429363). “Arvin P.”, 26; wife Mabel, 24; daughter Alice L., 5. Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed Precinct 2, ED 119, sheet 5B: the enumerator wrote Orvin O. Piland, head, 26, born in Texas; Mabel, wife, 24; Alice L. Piland, daughter, 5, all born in Texas. Ancestry's index reads the name as “Arvin P.”; the image reads “Orvin O.”, the same initials as Orbin Oliver. Updated 29 September 2026: it was first cited from the index only.
  6. S911Texas death certificate index — Orbin Oliver Piland, 30 September 1929. Ancestry collection 2272, record 23497175. Born 24 March 1893; parents E. R. Piland and Virginia F. Montgomery. Probable Read from the index only; the image has not been examined.
  7. S923FamilySearch index, Texas Births and Christenings, 1840–1981 — Alice Lorene Piland, born 20 November 1914, Kyle, Hays County. FamilySearch record 4LVY-XPMM, checked 28 September 2026. Probable Father Orbin Oliver Piland; mother Mabel Larrimore Logue. An index only; no image. It is independent of the 1920 and 1930 censuses, and its date matches the Social Security index.
  8. S9241930 U.S. census — Mable Piland household, Austin, Travis County, Texas. Ancestry collection 6224, record 60697622. Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed ED 227-29, sheet 3A: Mable Piland, head, 34, widowed, born in Texas; Alice Lorena, daughter, 15, born in Texas; Virginia Logue, mother, 62, widowed, born in Tennessee. Mabel is widowed by April 1930, which fits Orbin's death in 1929.
  9. S941Austin, Texas, city directory, 1922, p. 373. Ancestry record 402287283. Image examined, read 29 September 2026. Confirmed Piland Orbin O (Mabel), truck driver, Texas Company, residence 104 Chicon. Nine other Pilands are listed in Austin.
  10. S10801910 United States Federal Census — Cuero, Ward 2, DeWitt County, Texas, ED 34, sheet 5A, dwelling 88. Ancestry record 168623911. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 30 September 2026. Probable Logue, Dan C., 52, manager of a cotton mill; Virginia A., 41, married 21 years, the mother of seven children, six living, born Tennessee; Leola, 17; Mabel, 14; Halbert, 10; and two younger sons. “Married 21 years” points to about 1889, a year before the 1890 licence [S908], within ordinary census error.
  11. S1091U.S., City Directories, 1822–1995 — Austin City Directory 1932–33 (Morrison & Fourmy), page 379, column 1. Ancestry record 399606365. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 1 October 2026. Confirmed “Piland Mabel L Mrs slswn F & W Grand Silver Store r403 W 14th”: a saleswoman, rooming (‘r’) at 403 West 14th Street. No husband is entered in brackets, which fits her widowhood from September 1929 (S911, S924). The same page carries other Austin Pilands; their relationship to her is not stated.
  12. S1113Texas, Death Certificates, 1903–1982 — Leola Piland, Austin, Travis County, 12 February 1938, file 10327. Ancestry record 83530008. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 1 October 2026. Confirmed Mrs. Leola Piland, of Manor Road, Austin, married, wife of Ruben Piland; born 28 November 1892 at Galveston, Texas; aged 45 years, 2 months, 14 days; a housewife. Father D. C. Louge [sic], born in Tennessee; mother “Virginaa Alice” [sic], no maiden name given, born in Texas. Died 12 February 1938 at Seton Infirmary, Austin; buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Austin, 13 February 1938. Informant: Ruben Piland. Louge is a transposed Logue. The informant was her husband, not a family member of her parents’ generation; he gives her mother’s birthplace as Texas where the 1900, 1910 and 1950 censuses all say Tennessee.
  13. S1191FamilySearch index, California, County Marriages, 1850–1953 — Victor Quillen Logue and Mildred Warner Pool, 4 December 1926, Los Angeles. FamilySearch record K8NF-XF6, checked 1 October 2026. Probable Groom’s father D. C. Logue; mother Alice Hanby. An index only; the image has not been read.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
