He spent several years in Paris where he met and married writer Minna Besser Geddes (Vassar College), class on 1916. The couple moved to Brookfield, Connecticut in 1929. Geddes, a member of several Communist organizations including the League of American Writers, Workers Film and Photo League (USA), and the , was listed multiple times by the House Un-American Activities Committee in its 1948 Report. Geddes established a theater company, The Brookfield Players. The company performed in an erstwhile tobacco barn, called the Brookfield County Playhouse, and both the company and the venue were referred to as the Brookfield Playhouse. Geddes was the long-serving postmaster in Brookfield, a job he told the Hartford Courant that he took because it offered a steady income. (en)
