Verda Agnes Chatfield married George William Day (Mar 27, 1927), a non-Catholic who converted the day before their wedding only to get past Verda's mother, Nellie. Nellie wasn't happy. George was ten years older than Verda who was only eighteen—and he was a widower with two small sons, and he married Verda less than a year after his first wife died, and he drove a brand new Jordan which cost a fortune—any one of those things being enough to raise her mother's eyebrows. He was also a bootlegger, but Grandma Nellie didn't know about that.
