I'll let you decide, BP, as I see two different spellings of her name:


Do you know of supporting documents? Just a thought. I'm at work now, or would look up on Ancestry.

9:15 p.m. UPDATE

The 1930 Federal Census finds Cleveland and Venzella living at 1245 S. Owasso Av., Tulsa.  Ages 29 and 24, he is a porter at a "service station."  And yes, her name is spelled: VENZELLA (which means nothing because mistakes are frequent in census records). Someone gave her birthplace as Kansas. 


Then, found a 1953 Pasadena City Directory listing for Venzella. Sadly, she's listed as a widow to Cleveland:

Name: Venzella G Benjamin
Gender: Female
Residence Year: 1953
Street address: 670 Casitas av
Residence Place: Pasadena, California, USA
Occupation: Beauty Salon Operator
Spouse: Cleveland Benjamin
Publication Title: Pasadena, California, City Directory, 1953



 An enlarged image:


And in 1962 the county of Los Angeles has her listed in voting records:

Name: Mrs Venzella Benjamin
Residence Year: 1962
Street address: W
Residence Place: Los Angeles, California, USA
Party Affiliation: Democrat


Lastly, is this:

BORN: 11 Jun 1905
