Harry C Gilbank was living with the Wesley F. Shockley household during the 1930 US Census. Wesley F. Shockley is the father-in-law to Harry's older sister Lulu. I believe things may have been tight for his widowed mother and Harry may have been living/working for the Shockley's to help with finances. This was the age before Social Security.
