Mom said that Jesse died of appendicitis, and after that Ruby moved back to Mapleton, UT. Then she married Hans Peter Jensen, who had been a high school friend.
So, here's what we learn from the census:
Jesse B. Warren
- 26 years old
- Born in Utah
- Parents born in Utah
- Speaks English
- Farmer
- able to read and write
- There are a couple more things at the end of the line, but the right side of the page is difficult to read.
Jesse and Ruby had been married for 6 years.
Ruby S.
- Her name is misspelled as Rubby.
- 25 years old
- At this point, the mother of 4 children, all still living.
- Born in Utah
- Parents born in Utah
- Speaks English
- Able to read and write
Children:
- Mabel
- daughter
- 5 years old
- not attending school
- Berten J.
- Son
- 3 years old
- Welby S.
- Son
- 1 year old
- Eva
- Daughter
- 1 month old
Welby is in the 1930 Mapleton, Utah census living with Ruby and her second husband Hans Peter Jensen, who is my great-grandfather (see this post). I wonder where her other three children ended up after Jesse died. Welby was 21 at that point, so all of them were at sort of grown-up ages.
My mom told me about a daughter named Evelyn (Eva?) who pulled a mosquito net over herself when she was a tiny baby. They found her and were able to revive her, and she survived, but always had health problems after that--Mom said it was her heart.
