After WJ and Lizzie were married, they traveled to North Dakota for their honeymoon. We found this picture of them in North Dakota. It was a working honeymoon, as WJ traveled there for many years, threshing on farms across the Dakotas. You can read about one of his machines in this post<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJ and Lizzie had five children, Georgina, Louise, Frances, Arthur, and Wilma. I’ve written about them in many posts. You can search for them in the search box or look by category or tag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJ died on February 1, 1957. Lizzie died on October 31, 1976.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
