In the 1930 census, Evelyn was single and lived at a rooming house in Minneapolis. She had no occupation. If we combine the census entries for her and her son, it appears that she and Robert are living with Kenneth McKenzie, 28, Orpha McKenzie, 25, and Elma McKenzie, 7 months, among others, at 1816 Nicollet. One of those “others” was Raymond Jones, 34, a taxi driver.
