Francis N. McNutt - Father's name not known. She was illegitimate. She received money from a trust fund for several years. Her son Farrell (1916) also had a trust fund but her other son Thurl (1925) did not. This leads me to believe that her father probably died between 1916 and 1925.
Family rumors say he was from Chicago, IL. Social Security number 313-01-3570D
