Comment Detail: Source includes approximate date and occupation (...the first 3 years of our marriage, then Jim was offered a job as an electrician's helper...) and implies he took it by noting he didn't like living in the big city, so found another job after a couple of years.
obituary-dorotha-dickey-2020:
Comment Detail: Source includes date (1948) and location (Rapid City [, South Dakota]). The obituary is inconsistent --- it claims she and James lived in Murdo for "their first 3 years" after marrying in 1946, but that they moved to Rapid City and Lawrence was born in October 1948, two years later. This record will treat the "3 years" as really being somewhere between 2 and 3.
obituary-dorotha-dickey-2020:
Comment Detail: Source includes date (1949) and location (Piedmont [, South Dakota]). The obituary is unclear, stating that the moved to Piedmont and Harold was born in September of 1949.
