Using the addresses found in the Chandler directory for 1931 and using Mapqwest.com I established that 288 North Dakota and 228 North California are still active addresses and almost back to back to one another as each street is the next over from the other. Both streets are just off and west of central Chandler and therefore can be found in District 128, Chandler Town (West part), Maricopa County, Arizona Federal Census 1930. At Ancestry.com, within District 128 images you'll find images 4 and 5 of 19 contains details of the MATTHEWS surname. There is listed Paul MATTHEWS head of household, a white male age 30, who married at age 23, born in Texas, father born in Texas, mother born in Georgia working as a road grader man for the Arizona State Highway Department. He is found living in a duplex or triplex at 225 North California Street with his wife; Nellie MATTHEWS, wife of Paul, a white female age age 26, who married at age 19, born in Arkansas, father born in Georgia, mother born Arkansas, and not employed. They are renting for $10 monthly and no children of their union are shown in the enumeration. This may be your Nellie A. CALLEY if her other relations in the Chandler area prove to also be born in Arkansas, with parents born in Georgia and Arkansas respectively. At the same address appears to be Paul's brother William, age 29, his wife Edith age 26, daughter Helen age 6, son Eugene 4 years and 8 months and possibly their father Ian? MATTHEWS age 60 a widower and a son George age 18 (possible brother of Paul and William). Staying with Image 5 of 19 further down the page is the CALLEY and MILLER surnames. Residing down the street from 225 North California Street is a duplex at 289 North California Street that shows a Ella M. CALLEY, a white female, age 22 and single, born in Arkansas, father in Georgia and mother born in Arkansas. This clearly appears to be the sister of Nellie B. (Calley) MATTHEWS noted above. Ella declares herself to be a stenographer working for wages for a development company (Chandler Improvement Company). She is noted as residing with her sister and is enumerated as a sister. Her sister is shown as the head of household. That person is; Ruby MILLER (probably your Ruby B. Calley), white female, age 19, married at age 17, born in Arkansas, father born in Alabama (maybe guessed when asked by the enumerator), mother born in Arkansas, telephone operator working for wages at the telephone company. There is no listing for her husband, but if this is the same Ruby NUNN mentioned in 1931 then she either was divorced in Maricopa County or her husband died during that era and then she married W. Leslie NUNN and moved to nearby Phoenix. Also listed is her child; Robbie MILLER, a daughter, listed as white female, age 10 months, born in Washington, father (unknown as not listed) born in Oklahoma, mother born in Arkansas. This would mean that Ruby came to Arizona and Chandler sometime in 1929 following the birth of her daughter. Perhaps her husband stayed, or died in Washington, or, as earlier noted divorced in Maricopa before her marriage to W. Leslie NUNN by 1931. I'll continue with the MCADAMS and CHANDLER information in another posting. Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer
