    "Apparently he met Genevieve when she was attending college in San Diego.  William and Genevieve were married at Santa Ana, CA on July 6, 1926.  They returned to San Diego to live. ... It was on the National City property that William and Genevieve decided to plant an avacado orchard.  I think the land was about 40 acres. ... Unfortunately William died in a plane crash on September 30, 1930. ... Shortly after the funeral of William, Genevieve received word that her mother had been killed in an auto accident in Nowata, Okla on September 13, 1930.  After the funeral, Genevieve returned to San Diego and took care of her avacado grove, becoming a respected member of the Avacado Association."

    The name here is the Dentist for whom she was reported working in the 1929 census.  A story about her business ventures in a local paper report that she was in charge of Dr B T Mohney's [sic] office.

    After William's death she married a Dentist, possibly a doctor working in the dental clinic she had been running for Dr Mahoney/Mohney, as reported in the 1929 and 1931 city directories.  They were reported in the 1940 census in Fresno, and the census reports that they were living in San Diego in 1935.
