Later Verna married a man named Raymond F. Abbott and lived in Hutchinson, KS until they moved to California in 1934 per her death certificate.

At this time we do not know what happened to R.F. Abbott. Not for certain that the R stands for Raymond or not but Verna and R.F. had two daughters per census records and now a letter we have uncovered from Verna's older brother, Carl Cassel Diehl's collection, provided by his granddaughter.
