The last I heard, George Severance Jr. had supposedly re-enlisted in the army, but the 1920 census, while scarcely legible, seems to report him employed in a "wire works." He and Alberta were living in Rockford, Illinois now. Late in January 1920 they came to visit relatives and friends in this area, staying for a week with George's sister and brother-in-law, Pearl and George Yager, Jr., who lived at 337 Harrison Street in Gary. During the visit, the Masonic lodge in Hobart conferred upon George S. the degree of "Master Mason."
On February 8, on the farm in Ross Township, Agnes Severance (George's mother) gave birth to a little girl, Dorothy.
