Misc. Notes
1929-1931 (at least) she was a clerk at Wisconsin Compensation Ratings & Inspection Bureau. [428]
Lived with parents at least through 1936, which is the last year she appears in the Milwaukee City Directory. [430] Though her parents were listed in 1937 for the last time (they moved to Owatonna, MN - see death details for Vera’s parents). [431]

A misplaced source suggested one of her sons was named Jack and that he attended military church school in Owatanna, MN, but this may have been a reference to James.

Vera was reported as Mrs. James REUTER in her mother’s obituary, 02-JUN-1950, and also had two sons by that time. [955] But when Vera’s father died in 1953, only one son, James, was mentioned. But by then she was Mrs. Tony REDZINSKI. [956]
Research
Milwaukee library could not find an obituary for Vera Redjinski in either the Milwaukee Journal or Milwaukee Sentinel (searched June 17-30, 1988, in both). I checked the Milwuakee Journal for June 17 through July 8 and the Milwaukee Sentinel for June 17 through July 18, 1988, and also failed to find an obituary.
