At the time of the 1930 census, 18 year old Jerry was listed as a laborer in the household of Fred Biba, and involved in road construction. The home was in District 21, Liberty Township, Fillmore County, Nebraska.

He also worked for Laun Implement and Repair and farmed northwest of Milligan.

After Libbie's death, he married Lillian ONDRACEK SHUTTS, and they lived in Friend, Nebraska. (Milligan, p 299).

This appears to be Jerry, as listed on the SSDI:

This is most likely the listing of his second wife:

Adolph was a veteran, and served in the European Theatre. After his discharge, he farmed northwest of Milligan, later moving to Lincoln, where he was employed by Russell Stover and Hardy Furniture. He married Viola FAERSTE of Lincoln, and they were the parents of David and Patricia.

And this might be the listing for his son, David:
