Sometime after 1927, Vilas remarried for the third time to a Wilma R. Eckley, who brought a young daughter, Evelyn V. Eckley, with her.  By 1940, they were all living on Longfellow in Spokane and his occupation had changed to a furnace cleaner.  By 1942, when he registered for the WWII draft, he was a self employed furnace fellow and lived on North Monroe.  Wife Wilma was still listed in the phone directory as late as 1943 with Vilas.
