How It All Connects
Two Gapen sisters married two different men. Lillian Gapen married a Frauenthal → daughter Virginia → married Donald Walhus → Paul & Alice-Ann. Bernice Gapen married Alec Ebsworth → twins Barney & Muriel. Paul and Barney were cousins through the Gapen sisters — boyhood friends and rival quarter-milers in St. Louis.
