      At the time of marriage he was an electician and lived in SSM Michigan (see Library/Jane Jeffrey Kingan/Item 11)

      In the 1920 US Census (email Tom Loghrin to John cowan JAn 29, 2019) he rented 211 E. University, Royal Oak and was an electrical engineer. He was apparently separated from his wife and children.It shows he immigrated from Canada in 1894 and was naturalized as a US citizen in 1900.
