What the source supports

That Mrs. C. H. Blake of Berryville was named in 1921 as the mother of Charles A. Blake.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The OCR drops the period after "Mrs." She is given only by her husband's initials. Her son has no record here, so no kinship record is made.
