Notes

  • It appeared that R H Glory had died before the census in 1930.  Maggie Lee Green was reprorted wiht the name Maggie Glory, and as Married, but htere was no husband reported in her ghousehold.  In 1940 she was reported as a widow, so it appeared perhaps her husband R H Glory had just died or was abvout to die iat the time of the 1930 census.

    However, in Jully 2015, a record was found for an R H Glory, with no wife reported, in the Fresno City Directory for 1932.  This indicates he lived at least till 1932, and since no wife is reported, he was likely divorced.  It is known that is other cases, a divorced wife in that era might report therself as a widow in order to avoid questinos and the negative connotatoin of having a divorce.  That may be what happened with Maggie Green Glory in the 1940 census.

    On the same two-page spread of the directory is also an entry for a P Green, matching Maggie's brother-in-law Pink Green, with a matching address on  Route 7, the neighboring box.  This matches the picture of their living situation that we get from from details in previous censuses and mention of some land purchase or rental deals of Pink with R H Glory.  But I do not find a correspnding entry for Maggie under the name either Glory or Green.  RH's entry is the only one under the surname of Glory.

    We might check the directory for the name Schuchard, which has come to light as a marriage of Maggie at some point.  Dates have not been recovered or the timeline reconstructed.  Nope ... nothing in this directory under the name Schuchard.  Further then similar entries for R H Glory were found in the 1933 and 1934 city directories.  The address appears to mean Rural Route 7, Box 219, which fits their earlier living situation,

    Glory R H rt 7 Bx 219 (p 734)
    Green P rt 7 Bx 218 (p 735)

    In the 1933 diirectory R H is at a different address, but stil on a rural route in the county.  Again his is the only entry for the surname Glory.  This entry is very interesting but puzzling in a differtent way.  There are two similar entries now for a Green P and Green Pink.  The entry for Green P has the address Rt 9 Box 221a, which is a couple opf houses away form either of the 1932 entries.  Then Green Pink is at the very same address as R H Glory, Rt 9 Box 433a.  This makes us less certain who the Glory entry might represent and who P Green is in contrast to Pink Green.

    Green Pink rt 9 Bx 433a (p 754)

    In the 1934 entry, R H Glory and Pink Green are again at the same address as in 1933.  There4 is no entry this time for P Green.
