The following history was written for Arthur and Juno's 50th wedding anniversary, Nov 1960:

"Arthur Crandall was born Sep 23, 1887 on the Alpha R. Crandall homestead in Afton Township. He was the fifth child of a family of seven girls and two boys.

Arthurs family moved to Iowa and the John Demings then occupied the Crandall homestead.

Juno was born Nov. 17, 1891 in the same bedroom of the same house as Arthur was born. She was the youngest of five girls and one boy.

The Crandalls returned to South Dakota when Arthur was 12 years of age.

Juno and Arthur attended the Crandall school in Afton township. Grandpa Crandall had donated the land for the school house with the request that the building be used for a school and also as a place to worship on Sunday. Among their teachers were Vistor Rubert and Rollin Ward.

In 1907, when Juno was 16, she moved with her folks to Montana. The mailman was kept busy for about three years with mail between So. Dak. and Montana, as Arthur corresponded with his sweetheart Juno.

In the Fall of 1910 Arthur journeyed to Montana to marry the girl of his dreams.

On Nov. 2, 1910 the famous words "I Do" were repeated by Arthur Crandall and Juno Deming, at the John Deming farm home at Fairview Montana. Rev. Charles Bradford performed the ceremony in the presence of about thirty one guests. The newly weds were presented with six gifts and nine dollars in cash.

They returned to So. Dak. and lived with the groom's parents until Spring, at which time they rented the Shaw place.

In the fall of 1912 the Alpha Crandall's moved to Calif. so Arthur and Juno moved in with Leslie on the homestead place.

In the fall of 1913 Arthur shipped a car loaded with five horses, some machinery and household furniture to Montana. Arthur and Leslie had bought a quarter section of land but decided it wasn't large enough. So they sold the horses, some machinery and shipped the rest back to Dakota.

Juno and Arthur then moved into Ole Gutterson house. Juno's Uncle built a kitchen for them in 1914 and in 1926 they built the rest of the house. Later they bought Mrs. Avery's quarter and sold the house to the Hetland Bros.

They then lived on the Avery farm until they retired. In the fall of 1946 they rented the farm to Archie and moved to Carthage. In the spring of 1959 they bought a home in Huron, which is their present residence.

To this union was born eight sons. They now have 18 grandchildren and one Great Grandson."
