???This appears to be Kathleen Virginia Peckham, who is ALSO listed as the 18 year old wife of John Charles Griffin at the time of the 1930 census. Both enumerations are dated April 2.

Chester married Maria M. Moreno. Maria was born in May 1883 in Mexico; died on 30 Mar 1937 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her maiden name is assumed to be Moreno based on the Texas Death certificate of daughter Annie Peckham Esparza.
