Evidently Livina is a 2nd marriage as it states that he was 56 and she 50 when they married. He is still a produce merchant. ____________________________________________________________- Hope this answers several of your questions. The age difference between 1920 and 1930 is really conflicting. I could find no Van Gorden in Allegany County for 1920 or 1930, or no Ruby Van Gorden anywhere in NY for those years. Happy familying Lynda
