Irene Watie van Petten, daughter of
DeRoy Delos van Petten and
Florence Knapp, circa 1930. They're married in the 1930 census and Irene reports her age at first marriage is 23. Irving reports his age at first marriage is 23 (he's 2-3 years older )so he's possibly been married before.
3,1 On 16 October 1940 Irving
Trachtenberg and Irene Watie
van Petten lived on 3159 W 11th St,
Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA.
4 He and Irene Watie
van Petten were divorced circa 1942 in
Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA. This is just a guess based on the fact that Irving and Irene were not living together in the 1942 voter registration data.
5 He died on 10 February 1984 in
Brooklyn, Kings, New York, USA, at age 78.
6,7Census Information
He and
