" If ‘McKinley Osborne became the husband of Clara May Osborne, what becomes. of his relationship to her of uncle-in-iaw, created by the narriage of his'sister to. his wife’s father? Also, if Clara Oshorne became the wife of McKinley Osborne, what be- comes of her role as daughter-in-law to Minerva Osborne, who is also her sister-in-law through the marriage to Minerva’s brother, McKinley?
