Additional comments from a family member (anonymised):

When Henry Drysdale died , Lloyd Drysdale was a newborn baby... Kenner in my understanding lived in Bingham Utah , Lloyd lived there for a while until he or Sarah [or both] were mistreated by Kenner.
Lloyd left Bingham and moved in with ... Hazel and ... Orvin Drysdale at 435 Sego Avenue, Salt Lake City Utah . Soon afterwards Orvin put money down on a house at
438 East 6th south Salt Lake City Utah for Sarah Elisabeth Jackson within shouting distance of his house [ ... think he bought it outright , but cannot prove it ] . Orvin sold a five acre plot of land 1922 and Sarah was in that house in1922.
Leroy Houser she married while living there.
Until Sarah married Leroy Houser , Sarah Elizabeth Jackson went by the Drysdale surname and as the widow of Henry Drysdale.
