At the time of the 1940 census, Adeline and her six children between the ages of five and 18 were living at 1045 Front with Adeline's father, Michael. By 1950, Michael had passed away, and Adeline and five of her six children were living at 1045 Front. When Cohen wrote his narrative about the 1936 Monarch Mine Explosion, he mentioned that the family thought that Tony DeSantis had become a naturalized citizen before his death. In the years since, more information about the naturalization status of Tony and Adeline DeSantis has become available at websites such as Ancestry.com. Adeline is now believed to one of several Louisville women who was an "alien by marriage," as described in the Winter 2020 issue of the Louisville Historian: 637237556775970000 (louisvilleco.gov) . These were women who were American citizens by virtue of having been born in the U.S., and who lost their citizenship when they married foreign men who did not have American citizenship. This federal law applied to marriages that took place between 1907 and 1921. American men who married foreign women did not suffer the same consequences. In 1963, when she was 60, Adeline filed the necessary papers and her American citizenship was reinstated. The following photo shows her in the 1970s. The following images show the photo and ground layout from the Boulder County Assessor card that was completed in 1948. 8
