Thanks for the response Tony. So now the question becomes which Clothier was Elizabeth Saltsman married to?

Leonard Jackson Clothier was born 27 June 1904 in Blackfoot, Idaho. He married July1925, Eva Gloria Gourley, born 4 July 1904 in Thatcher, Arizona. She died 28 December 1940 in Los Angles, California. Leonard then married Jessie E. Richardson on 11 October 1941. Leonard died 16 January 1958 in Los Angles, California, and Jessie died on the 12 January 1979 at the same place.
I show no record or documentation that Leonard was ever married a third time. Since he was 21 when first married and then married second within a year of the first wife's death, and that he died 17 years later still married to Jessie, it is logical that he was never married to a third woman of any name.
I ASSume that someone picked up the death of Elizabeth Saltsman Clothier from the California Death Index and due to the fact that she died in Los Angeles put her together with Leonard. I see no evidence of this marriage in any of the records.
Since Elizabeth lived in Pennsylvania with her parents Milton and Stella Saltzman, it is likely that she married into the Strawbridge/Clothier line and not the Ira Clother line.
Hope this helps,
Tony Clemente

Ok.....there exists some dispute regarding this individual and who he was married to. Two separate parties claim that he was married to Gloria Eva Gourley and Elizabeth Gloria Saltsman. Gloria Eva was allegedly born in AZ and Elizabeth was born in OH. According to the 1930 Los Angeles Co., CA Census, Lenard/Leonard's wife was E. Gloria and was born in AZ, which tends to support the contention that he was NOT married to Elizabeth Saltsman (at least in 1930). Curiously, Gloria died in 1940. Elizabeth lived until 1996. It seems the logical question is: Was Lenard/Leonard married to both women? Gloria Gourley 1st and Elizabeth Saltsman second?
Can someone shed some light on this controvery?
