bullet  General Notes:

The WWI Draft Registration Card for George Leo Hagen taken June 5, 1917 records his date of birth to be September 16, 1889 in Reading, PA. He has a wife and child and is living at 342 Lombard Street in Reading. He is employed as a Tinsmith for the Oscar Delong-Eagle Co. of Reading His physical description is tall and stout with brown eyes and brown hair. He has two broken fingers on his right hand.

The 1920 Federal Census for Reading Ward 9, Berks Co., Pa. ED#84 records L. George (29 - PA/PA/PA) and E. Mabel (28 - PA/PA/PA) Hagen with son G. Clifford Hagen (6) renting a home at 346 Lombard Street. George is a tinsmith in a shop. Also in the household is brother-in-law L. Ralph Kelchner (19 - single). Ralph is a braider in a textile shop.

Apparently George died in the 1920s and by 1930 his widow, Mabel, has remarried: The 1930 Federal Census for Reading, Berks Co., Pa. ED#36 records Clifford Hagen (16) as a stepson in the home of Arrey M. (50 - PA) and Mabel E. (38) Doerffling at 1115 Buttonwood Street. Arrey is a Salesman for Steel Cieling [Ceiling] and Clifford is a Pastry Maker in a Bakery. Arrey indicates his age at first marriage to be 47 so Mabel has been with him since ca 1926. While Arrey reports his place of birth as Pennsylvania, he was actually born in Wisconsin. This apparent marriage between Mabel and Arrey contradicts a 1937 Reading City Directory that lists Mabel Hagen (wid L. Geo) ... see notes on George Hagen's wife, Mabel Kelchner.


For research purposes:
The 1920 Federal Census for Berks Co., Pa. ED#93 records a George L. (29) Hagy married to a Gertrude M. (30) with children John F. (9), George E. (6), Mabel (5 4/12), Miriam M. (4 2/12), and Robert (1 4/12) living at 1333 Green Street. Boarding with the family is Ida M. (29) and Charles (10) Corbite (Ida Mae Corbit).

In the 1930 Federal Census for Berks Co., Pa., records George (29) and Ida (39) Hagy with children George (16), Mable (15), Miriam (13), Robert (11), Howard, (7), John (20) and Ellen (20-daughter-in-law). Also in the house is Ida M. Trout (56-mother). Lots of similarities to George L. Hagen and family, however, this is not the right family: Gertrude Trout can be found in the 1900 census in Reading with her parents, John and Ida (Odda) Trout and Ida Mae Corbit marries Edwin Metzger on Sept. 5, 1925. Interesting coincidences, but I can not find any other references to George and Mabel Hagen.
