It was a second marriage for both, she also lost her first husband to death. Around 1937 he went left first to California and then his wife and their children, Lucena, Cuma, Paul, Don and Willa came later. He hired two men to drive the old hearse he'd boughten from his former boss, to take his wife and children cross country. The family eventually settled in Glendale, California. Around Thanksgiving 1949, he had gone from California back to Newton, Kansas to attend to some personal business. He was staying at the home of son, James (Woody) George, when he passed away on 7 December 1949. His body was taken from Kansas to California, by train, where he was buried.
