Census Notes for Clyde Maxie & Ruth J. (Family)
1940 census of Portage Co., Ohio, Suffield township, enumerated 12 April, lists on p. 7B as family #15, at 139 Kent-Union Town Rd:
Wright, Clyde M., 33, b. Georgia, truck driver for Inland Motor Freight; Ruth J., wife, 22, b. West Virginia; Maxine L., dau, 8, b. New York; Martha L., mother, 58, widowed, b. Tennessee. Maxine living in Newport, Kentucky in 1935, all others living in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio.

The daughter Maxine age 8 is almost certainly from Clyde’s first marriage, to Emma Kash, not only because Ruth would be quite young to be her mother, but also because she was not living in Akron, Ohio in 1935 where Clyde and Ruth were living, but in Newport, Kentucky, where Emma’s mother and brother Robert were recorded in the 1940 census. (I have not found Emma in 1940.)
