On September 12, 1918, Fred Corry had to sign a World War draft registration card. He was living in Clifton, Greene, Ohio. His occupation was a flour miller. His physical description was medium height and build, with blue eyes and dark hair. A photo of that card: <a href="https://goo.gl/photos/raJctPzwNj2CeydSA">Photo</a>
The 1920 U.S. census had an effective date of January first. The Corry household was enumerated January twenty eighth. The census page shows Fred G., 34; his wife Cleo P., 31; and children Preston W., 6; DeWitt R., 4; Chester E., 2; and Donna M., 4 months of age. The family lived at an unstated address on Water Street in Clifton, Greene County, Ohio. Fred was a miller at a flour mill.

Shortly after that census was taken, the family moved to Indiana, where their daughter Mary was born.
Soon after that, apparently in early or mid 1922, the Fred G. Corry family of seven moved to a ranch in or near Farmington, New Mexico. In late August, three year old Donna Mary Corry apparently ate some fruit that had been sprayed with pesticides, then she got very sick. She died August 28th. Donna was buried the next day at the nearby Waterflow Cemetery. Later, her remains were moved to a cemetery in Santa Barbara, California, where the family then lived.
By February of 1923, the Corry family had moved to Santa Barbara County, California. That was when and where Fred and Cleo's daughter Barbara was born.

A 1924 Santa Barbara city directory listed: Corry Fred G (Cleo) gard h213½ W Figueroa.
A 1926 Santa Barbara city directory listed: Corry Fred G (Cleo) chauf h24 W Pedregosa.
The 1930 U.S. census had an effective date of April first. The Corry household was enumerated April fifth. The census page shows Fred G., 44; Cleo, 40; and their children Preston W., 17; DeWitt R., 14; Chester E. 13; Mary D., 9; Barbara M., 7; Theresa M., 4; and Eleanor M., age three. They still lived at 24 W. Pedregosa Street in Santa Barbara. Fred was a landscaping foreman.
1934 and 1935 Santa Barbara city directories listed: Corry Fred G (Cleo) gard h24 W Pedregosa.
Soon after that, the Corry family moved yet again, this time back to Ohio, to Monroeville, in Huron County. All of those moves over the years were because Cleo didn't like to stay in the same place for too long.
No family members can be found in the 1940 U.S. census.
On April 5, 1942, at the age of 56, Fred Corry had to sign a World War 2 draft registration card. He was living on S. Main St., in Monroeville. His occupation was doing some unstated work at his home. His physical description was 5' 10½" tall, 145 pounds, with gray eyes.

In the mid 1940s, the family moved yet again. This time they only travelled 35 miles, to Oak Harbor, Ohio.
At some point before 1964, Fred and Cleo moved to an area in or near Santa Monica, California, where their son DeWitt and his wife lived.
