Both single. The marriage record transcription doesn't have a marriage day, only the month and year of Dec. 1924. That year doesn't seem correct since their 1st child Clara was born Jan. 7, 1929 (per her obituary). The 1930 census doesn't clarify their marriage year, but confirms that Clara was their 1st child and born about 1929. Their orig. marr. image hasn't yet been found for comparison to the transcription.
