He was active in the Boy Scouts and had an extensive stamp collection. His profession was a linotypist. He lived in Oil City, PA, for some time, and ran a printing shop there. It was this printing shop that Edwin and Marian took over shortly after they were married.
In late 1947 GORDY began experiencing times when he could not remember things, and an appointment was made for him with a psychiatrist in Pittsburgh, PA, by his sister, a nurse, MARY LOU MYERS. Then, GORDY killed a man in Oil City in February 1949 by hitting him with an instrument. The man was the grandfather of a boy that was working in Gordy's print shop. He was found shortly after the killing in an unheated attic with only his shorts on. He was then sent away to a prison for the mentally insane near Williamsport, PA. When he was released in spring 1951, a trial took place in Oil City. The judge directed a verdict of not guilty, and he was not permitted to live in Oil City anymore.
After the trial he moved to Pittsburgh, PA, and lived with his brother TED and TED's wife CORA for a couple of years. He then moved with his mother, GRACE, to Corry, PA (when he drove a black Packard) where is worked for a newspaper there as a linotypist. They moved there before April 1956, because they came down to Oil City, PA, in April 1956 for the funeral of Mark David Apel. They were living there in the summer of 1958, because Win Apel remembers visiting them in the summer when he was 8 years old.
GORDON and his mother then moved to Shelton, WA, sometime before 1962-63, and later to Vancouver, WA, until his mother's death in 1966. GORDY then stayed in Washington until his death in 1979. For some of that time he ran a store, "GEORGE in the Gorge," in Stevenson, WA, which is in the Columbia River Gorge.
In July 1979, after his death, Lorrie and Win Apel travelled from Boise, ID, to Stevenson, WA, to take care of his affairs for his four nieces, MARIAN, DOROTHY, FLO and TWILA MYERS. LORRIE and WIN cleaned up his apartment, went through his things, and found that he had been leading two lives--one with a family in the Stevenson area and another with a family in Carson, WA. In the latter, he attended the Methodist church, was an usher there, and was a Boy Scout leader; he went by the name of George. With the other family, he was known as "GORDY", had a room above the bar, and led a completely different kind of life. Win and Lorrie also met with his psychiatrist, who thought he was going to be sued for not watching him better. (Gordy once tried to commit suicide by threatening to jump off a bridge across the Columbia River before he was stopped.)
