1940 US Census - Frank Raymond Emery

Frank Raymond Emery was the third and final child born to Abigail (Williams) and Fred J Emery.    Following their divorce, Abigail moved to Chicago with Fred Owen and Alice Mabel, leaving Frank at an orphanage in Mitchellville, Iowa.    Fred J Emery married May Morrell on May 13, 1899 and remained in Iowa the rest of his life.   It is not known why Fred did not take in his youngest child following his divorce.

Frank eventually left the orphanage, married and started his own family.     In 1940, Frank, wife Rose (Gugel) were living in Elmhurst, York township, Dupage county, Illinois with their children Robert and Dorothy as well as a lodger, Glen (???) Buckner.

Frank was employed as a shipping clerk for a wholesale paper company.

1940 US Census - Mabel Daniels/Fred Daniels Jr

Here is the 1940 US Census for my great grandmother, Mabel (Cass) Daniels and son Fred Daniels Jr.

Mabel and Fred (lines 17 & 18) were living in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California.    Mabel was working at a dress shop and Fred Jr was employed with Lockheed Aircraft.

Following the death of my great grandfather, Fred (Emery) Daniels in 1937 as well as the loss of the Daniels Apartment Hotel and the Terminal Garage in Chicago, Illinois due to the Great Depression, Mabel and Fred must have moved to California sometime during the preceding 3 years.
