1930 Census > West Virginia > Marshall County > Moundsville
LOGSDON, Harry, head, 34, born in PA of WV parents, accountant at a glass factory

LOGSDON, Gladys, daughter, 2 1/2, born in West Virginia

Gladys died March 28, 1933, having just passed her 5th birthday. Cause of death was peritonitis following surgery for appendicitis.

Her sister Edith, who is pictured at left, lived to age 83, passing in 2013.

Edith never married and had no offspring. She may have been the owner of this photo. With no one to bequeath this family heirloom to, it would have understandably gone into an estate sale and been dispersed to locations unknown.

That will make it a bit more difficult to find a living relative, but I do enjoy a challenge.
