     When Irene was 15, her father died, and her mother depended on her working to support her and her two younger brothers.⁴ The 1930 census lists Arthur Mckeon and Irene at Bergenfield, Bergen County, NJ, with their children Leroy and Raymond.⁷
     When Arthur died in 1931, Irene was left with four children and a mortgage on a house in Ridgefield Park NJ. The depression came and Irene could not keep up with raising her four children and working. She was forced to put the children into an orphanage, and she lived with her sister Catherine Peters Durham. She worked to get enough money to get the children out of the orphanage. The house she owed a mortgage on was insured by Prudential Insurance Co. Ben Taylor was an agent for Prudential Insurance Co and helped Irene get enough money together to open a candy store in Fairview, NJ, so she could be independent and not rely on a salary. Together they worked hard to make the store succeed. Ben was at the time married to a woman named Marion Shunk. They had one child named Marilyn. Ben divorced her about 1934 and in 1935 he married Irene and one by one took the children out of the orphanage, the oldest one first. The youngest one lived with Catherine Durham for a year.¹
     Benjamin adopted Irene's four children Leroy and Raymond after they married.^4,8 Irene Elizabeth Peters was between 1935 and 1979 a Telephone Operator, Candy store, owner Liquorstore, owner/hotel Operator.¹
     Reasons to believe Arthur and Irene eloped:
Arthur was released from the army in January of 1919
In the 1920 census Irene was living with her mother and two brothers six months after her marriage and Arthur is not found in the 1920 census. I will continue to look for Arthur. He may have re-inlisted but I cannot prove it. More research is needed.⁹ Name variation: Irene Peters.¹ Married name: McKeon. Married name: Taylor.
