    George married Bessie Mae Gaddy Monsinger in about 1927.  In 1930 they were living in Los Angeles and had a 2-year-old daughter named Colleen.

    1930 Federal Census, Los Angeles County, California, 15 April, Los Angeles, District 19-642, page 7A, 434 Ave 44 West, Hse #68, Fam #87

    Hackett, Colleen F W 2 CA NJ AR [b abt 1928]

    It appears the year married apply to the current marriage, not their first marriage.  Bessie was married to John Monsiger in 1921.

    They were also reported in the 1932 City Directory for Los Angeles.

    They divorced some time before 1937, when Bessie is reported on her own in the Alhambra, California, citry directory.  In 1940, George was reported int eh census stil lin LA, but working  on a State Recreation Area and living in an SRA Camp.  His occupation was reported as Issue Clerk for the Camp.

    Note that the census reports he lived in the same place in 1935.  This probably indicates that he and Bessie divorced before 1935.
