  "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."
