1930 United States Federal Census

He is listed alone in this census, but his wife had not yet passed away and the couple hadn't divorced. His wife Mamie worked for a local older couple and was counted in their household for this census and probably not living full-time with them. It should also be noted there that this census entry shows that she was married, but, of course, her husband was living in a separate household, the home that belonged to Lee and Mamie.
