I found someone in the 1920 census in the Oregon State Penitentiary in
Salem, Oregon.  I'm not finding him in the 1930 census. 

Does anyone have any idea where I could find more information on the
following gentleman.

Name:	Clifford J Gaar
Age:	24 years 
Estimated birth year:	abt 1896
Birthplace:	Washington
Race:	White
Home in 1920:	Salem Ward 6, Marion, Oregon
Sex:	Male 
Marital status:	Married 
Able to read:	Yes 
Able to Write:	Yes 
Mother's Birth Place:	United States of America 
Father's Birth Place:	United States of America 

Source: Year: 1920; Census Place: Salem Ward 6, Marion, Oregon; Roll:
T625_1498; Page: 3A; Enumeration District: 353

His previous profession appears to be R.R. something-or-other
(fire-something) 

The lady that I think was his wife, died in 1942 in California on the
California Death Index, remarried, not finding her in 1930 under any of
three last names.

I did find the son of Clifford Gaar living with his grandparents in
California in 1930 census as a 9 year old, born June 1920.
