  Marriage Notes:

For the 1920 US Census, Charles was enumerated twice. Once as living by himself in Fruita. The second enumeration was in Grand Junction where he was marked as still married and lodging with his son, Chester, with another family. No record of his wife, Frances, has yet been found for the 1920 US Census although she was probably living in the same city of Grand Junction.

In 1930, Frances was living at the home of her married son, Glenn, and his family. Frances was listed as still being married. No record of her husband, Charles, has yet been found for the 1930 US Census. He was probably still living in the city of Grand Junction where he died in 1935.
