    3. I found Michael in Altoona in 1920: 1920 Census, Altoona, Blair County, Pennsylvania (Jan) ED 40, Sheet 7A, Line 11 McCULLOUGH, Michael, head, age 59, widowed, b. Penn, parents b. Ireland, laborer, streets Bertha, daughter, age 33, single, b. Penn GANTNER, Emma, daughter, age 32, married, b. Penn, cook Marie, granddaughter, age 11, b. Penn Aldred [indexed], granddaughter, age 7, b. Penn [Adelaide] Rita, granddaughter, age 1 9/12, b. Penn McCULLOUGH, John, son, age 28, single, b. Penn, bookkeeper, auto supply store Leo, son, age 20, single, b. Penn, clerk, steam railroad Charlie, son, age 13, b. Penn Edith, daughter, age 17, b. Penn, sales lady, grocery store MILLER, Jennie, lodger, age 16, b. Penn, parents b. Penn, kitchen helper, restaurant This means that he is claiming to be widowed and his wife who is living with her son, William Platt is also claiming to be widowed. So my question is - Did Michael really marry the widow Platt? In 1910 he is with his first wife. In 1920 he is widowed. In 1910, Mary Montgomery Platt is living with her husband, Larry. In 1920, she is widowed. If they had been married, there could have been a divorce and they just stated widowed on census. [This is hurting my head.]
