While at Santa Anita, he was married to Miss Marie Nakagawa, also of Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Seno went to Jerome in October 1942, together with other members of both families. Still living at Jerome are Mrs. Seno and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ezo Nakagawa; also, Mr. Seno's mother, Mrs. Fuji Seno, his grandmother, and two brothers. New York, New York.
