lived for two years. They returned to SD in 1930 where he lived with his
mother and brother, Fred, on a ranch in Big Bend near DeGrey. He finished

Counties, then went into partnership with his brother, Fred, buying out his
share in the 1930's . He also was Hughes County assessor for several years.
