Marriage & death of Eva May von Denenter nee Jones
« on: Saturday 24 October 15 21:07 BST (UK) »
On the 1930 census Eva was living with her brother Harman Jones & mother Crissie in Crutcho, Oklahoma & is named as Von Denenter but widowed.   Can anyone please find her marriage & her death for me.  Maybe she married again & died with another surname???
Thanks so much,

That's a transcription error in the 1930 census. Last name is Vandeventer, not von Denenter.

Eva was first married to Andrew J Megenity in 1897.

1900 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMGJ-ZK8

In 1910 census they have a son Andrew and living in Missouri. I believe his full name was Andrew Jackson Megenity, after his father.
1910 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MLM9-GG2

Their son Andrew "Jack" gets married in 1920. Marriage record confirms Eva's maiden name as Jones.

Eva gets remarried in 1919 to Joseph  T. Vandeventer. He had been previously married to Angie U Mitchell.

Here they are in 1920 census..

Looks like Eva May (who was born in 1875, IL) died in 1932 - and is buried in the same Oklahoma Cemetery as Harmon, Harmon's wife and their mother Louisa Chrissy (the latter was actually widow GLENN in 1930, despite being written as JONES, and she was widow GLENN in Census 1920 and in Census 1940 too).

When Harmon died in 1953, the newspaper report, said he was survived by wife Martha, and sister "Mrs James Hensley of Stockton California" which is his sister Grace B. So that indicates sister Eve (and brother Charles) were already deceased by 1953 at the latest.

The listing is as:  Eva M Megenity

That is Kolb Cemetery, Spencer, Oklahoma County, OK

Thank you both very much.   I do appreciate you taking the time to look all this up & forwarding it to me.   
I'm not au fait with the US system of looking things up so am very happy when someone takes the time to help me out.
