He had not even met her but told his companions "I am going to marry that girl" and he did! They were married in an apple orchard 23oct1923 & had 12 children including 9 sons & 3 dghs & 4 children that died young: Pleasant Jr; Geraldine; Mildred; Marvin Russell Dean; Louis Damon "Dude"' Keith Maynard; Mitchell Vaughn; Richard Edmond; Wayne Mansfield; twins Phyllis Ann & Phillip Allen; & Patrick Scott. Never did ask her why the 1st 3 children never got a middle name. Pleas & Hazel celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in their home (Eaton Preble Co OH) with a large group of their family & friends.
