According to Mom, Gordon lost his arm in an accident with a shotgun. His border crossing declaration in 1923 indicates that it was his left hand that was missing.

It appears that Gordon and Frank lived with their grandparents, Fred and Annie Krieger for at least some of the time between their parents death's and their 1923 move to Chicago to live with their Uncle "Lorens."
