At some point Gladys married a Mr Eley, and at some point, before 1951, she had lived in Oregon, as her SSN was issued from that state before 1951. Toward the latter part of her life, she moved, or was moved to Florida where as "Gladys Eley" she died Mar 1984 in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. | At some point Gladys married a Mr Eley, and at some point, before 1951, she had lived in Oregon, as her SSN was issued from that state before 1951.
