Additional information:
Don was drafted into the army and went to the pacific. When he returned home he went back to the Illinois area and finally to Marion where his parents lived. When he went to Illinois he met Mary Henderson and fell in love.
According to phone interview of Mary Henderson Miller ( December, 2000) she said that he had invited her up for a visit. She was very indifferent and thought why not. When she came to Marion, she discovered Don had planned a wedding. He had never asked her to marry him and had no idea he had this planned. They had only had a couple of dates. She said she never really expected to get married. I asked her why she married him and she said she thought " Why not?"
They moved to Illinois when Donald was looking for work. He ended up buying a house and running a mobile home park and an ice house business. Eventually his brother, Earl suggested he moved to Detroit Michigan and become an electrician. He spent the rest of his work life as an electrican.
