See general notes on her mother for 1940 census facts.

The 1930 Census for Lancaster City, Lancaster Co., PA, District 65, page 276A, dated April 14, 1930 records Leon W. Metzgar (29 - PA/PA/PA) with his wife, Beatrice E. Metzgar (29 - PA/PA/PA), and their son George (9) living at 626 New Green Street. Leon is a Machinist at a Machine Shop. They have been married for 18 years and own their home valued at $5,300. [Of course, being married for 18 years would mean they were 11 years old when they got married ... most likely the years married should be 8.]
