Samuel Thomas Revitt

I found newspaper articles that indicated that Samuel T. Revitt died after falling from a yacht in August, 1938.

On http://newspaperarchive.com/news/1938-08-12 (a subscription site, but non-subscribers can see 1 or 2 articles a day for free), there is an article about the police looking for his body.

On Google News Archives, I can see a portion of an article from the Baltimore Sun from 15 Aug. 1938 titled Samuel Revitt's Body Is Found In Patapsco‎.  It says "fuel Firm Employee Disappeared From Friend's Boat Last Thursday Night ...The body of Samuel T. Revitt, 47, (illegible) fuel company employee, was recovered from..."

You can see him on the Baltimore death index here - http://mdvitalrec.net/cfm/dsp_jump.cfm?CurrentPage=2

This seems to be Samuel & his wife on the 1930 census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X3W3-H9H  His occupation is listed as plumber, and hers is nurse - private.  Considering their ages at first marriage, it looks like they married around 1908.

These dates would fit with a remarriage for Walter and Gertrude between 1956 - 1958 when they appear together on the Voters register.
