Narrative

Vernon and Virginia married in 1933, but by the 1940 US Census he was listed as living in Syracuse, Kosciusko Cty, Indiana, without Virginia, with his marital status given as "divorced." Presumably, this means they divorced sometime prior to 1940.

ADDENDUM: There is a marriage record for Virginia Ruth Stopher and Lewis Edward Bolyard on 12 Apr 1936 in Fort Wayne, Allen Cty, Indiana; the right birthdate and parent information is given, so I believe this to be the right person.

After their marriage, I have no further information on either Virginia or Lewis until her death, noted in the US SSDI, in 2001. Her surname in the record is given as "Stopher," suggesting that she and Lewis did not remain married, either.
