Early life and career

[edit]

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah,[1] to Charles Geary and Jenny Helen,[2] Geary was born the same day the US Maine was sunk, which accounts for both his middle name and his first, in honor of the ship's captain, Charles Dwight Sigsbee.[4]

Personal life and death

[edit]

Geary married at least four times: in 1922 to Edgarita Clark Williams,[5] with whom he had two sons; to Julie Blake in 1930,[6] Lorraine Myrtle De Sart in 1936,[7] and Blanche May Luff in 1939.[8] He died in Hollywood, California, aged 48.
