  • In 1920 John was listed as a widower, a farmer, with three children: Byon (18), Tony (16), and Bessie (13).
  • 1930, he is listed as married, but no wife is included in the census.
  • 1940, John has married Bethada Foster. John died in 1949. Bethada Swain Cooper died in 1951. (It is possible Bethada Foster was previously married to John Swain, a man 22 years her senior.)
