Note that he was no longer married to Mary. His wife was listed as Meta. A divorce notice for Thomas N. Blondefield appeared in the Nevada State Journal (21 October 1936, Reno, Nevada) where he was divorcing Rose A. Blondefield. There was also a marriage notice (the same day, in the same newspaper) where he married Meta Vanderpool. So it seems that Thomas married Rose after, presumably divorcing Mary and then divorced Rose to marry Meta?
