In 1915, Lyman and Dora headed to the Wet Mountain Valley of Colorado, where they each established their own homesteads. Once the homesteads were "proved up" they headed to the courthouse in Silvercliff where they were married.
In 1936, Dora and Lyman had saved enough cash to leave the tough life on the ranch and seek a climate more favorable to Dora. They "landed" in Anacortes, Washington, where Lyman became the 7th shareholder in a new venture, a cooperatively owned plywood mill.
Lyman continued working in the plywood mill until his retirement in 1951, when they moved to Seattle and purchased a small apartment building.
Lyman continued living in Seattle until his death in 1976.
