Marriage Notes:
The 1920 census shows Verna unmarried and still living at home with her parents, yet her son, Eugene, was born about 1919. Maybe Eugene was born in the early part of 1920 and Verna would be shown at home because the 1920 census was conducted in January of that year. She might have been pregnant with Eugene at the time of the census giving birth to him later that year.
