Children
Years after May and Aura were separated, and after they were both married, somehow they found each other. Aura's grandchildren did not remember how they found each other, only that they did after decades of being separated in a Cleveland orphanage. The photo of May and Aura together was in Aura's photo album.
Ralph and May moved around at least every ten years, possibly more often. 1920 they lived in Lorain County, the same county he was born in, by 1930 they had moved to Cuyahoga County, and by 1942 they were living in Summit County. He worked in a grocery store when he was in his 40's but within the next decade, during the depression years, he worked as a traveling salesman. He may have had to move to find jobs.
