According to a letter dated 9 May 1982, Opal Carpenter wrote: "If anyone should refer to Ivan's obituary for information, it would not all be correct. It lists 25 grandchildren and 3 sons. He had 21 grandchildren and 4 step-grandchildren, 2 sons. Norman Hopkins was a stepson. This can be verified. I had nothing to do with writing the obituary and didn't realize this until I was checking for dates.
