I called Edna Heath.... unfortunately she is 82 years old, has Alzheimers and is hard of hearing so I did not get to speak with her.....but I did speak with her daughter Linda Elder...she was Uncle Gus' step-daughter. She told me a bit of history on our uncle.

He had only been married to Edna for about 5 years. Prior to that he lived with a lady named Virginia (Jenny) Bell, for more than 20 years. They had both worked on a Cruise Line, she as a hairdresser and he worked with the ships paper. As far as she knew they had no children together. When they retired the went to Twin Fall's Idaho. The both enjoyed gambling very much and as a result of that they lost quite a bit of what they had. Jenny had a daughter Doanda (Stapleton) who thought the world of Uncle Gus ....Bill as he was called by them. Linda told me that Doanda would be the best person to talk with about Uncle Gus....she had been living in Jackpot, Idaho, but has since moved to St. Louis, Missouri or somewhere around there. She workes in the "Gaming" industy.....casino's, etc. as did Linda and that is where Linda met uncle Gus. After Jenny died Linda said she introduced uncle Gus to her mom and shortly there after they were married. She said the Uncle Gus did not gamble much in his later years.

She knew of Gus's daughter Hope and had spoken with her a few times on the phone....she told me that she knew uncle Gus was in the US Navy as she found his papers when she was going through his personal effects after he died. She sent all that they had..... papers, photographs etc. to his daughter Hope. I asked her if she know what uncle Gus died of and she said to the best of her knowledge it was just old age. He had not been sick.

And that is the story on our uncle Gus as I have been able to find out. Some of the story I got from Aunt Ruby......above, fits in to the story told to me by Linda....just the sequence of events may be slightly different..
