At the time of the divorce decree, their 2 children, Gayle Wayne Tyler (age 6) and Robert Eugene Tyler (age 5), were staying with their paternal grandparents (Raymond T. Tyler and Vallie Tyler, 1525 Mary Drive, Indianapolis) - they were to stay there until the end of the school year, then custody was to be given to Harold and Mary was to receive reasonable visitation privileges. The children's maternal grandparents, Clarence P.
