San Francisco City & Voter Rolls
Supplemental Register
35 Smith, Mrs Norah A, 1700 Broadway, Housewife Republican
36 Smith, Robert A, 1700 Broadway, Master Mariner Republican
In the 1940 census, Nora Smith is reported as Head of the household, without a husband, with her 16-year-old son Robert in the household. This seems to indicate that her husband Robert Smith died between Sept 1934 and April 1940. In 1940 Nora was initially deisgnated as married, but then that was marked out.
No death record has been found for Robert Smith. But Green family researcher Linda Martin Bussell reports that she was told through family channels that Robert got shot at a dance. Details are not known. -- Linda Martin Bussell, personal communication to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 18 January 2020
