The Bible page does not name this child’s parents. The entries follow those of James O. Mellott and Laura F. E. Deshong and their son Luther, and the dates fit them as the family’s later children, so the site shows them as James and Laura’s. A birth certificate or the 1910 or 1920 census would confirm it.
