In 1920, Lydia was living with sister Jessie and family in Vermillion, Ohio. In 1930, Lydia was living alone in Cleveland and working in a restaurant. Meanwhile, we find Gilbert in Oklahoma, re-married and working on an oil well (1930 Census of Okmulgee, OK: NARA Microcopy T626, Roll 1922, E.D. 56-34, Page 161A). Although we don't have any exact dates for Gilbert and Lydia's marriage, it appears that their marriage was short-lived.
