Notes: In the 1930 U.S. census, Bruce LaPlant, 29, born in North Dakota, and and his wife
Edna LaPlant, 23, born in North Dakota, were living in Binford, Griggs, North Dakota.
They had a daughter, Shirley, 2, born in North Dakota. The family was renting their
residence, and had a radio. His occupation is unreadable. Her parents, Fred G.
Lewis, 49, and Isabella Lewis, 44, were enumerated next to them.
It is reported in family notes (Source No. 388) that Bruce went to Montana in 1929, where
he was employed with the Montana Power Department. He returned that year, presumably
to Binford, where they are enumerated in 1930. He returned to Montana with his family.
Returning to Griggs County, they farmed on "the Dave Wilcox farm, north of Cooperstown", then
on "the Cowan farm, east of Red Willow Lake", which they later bought. Their second daughter
Lois was born in Binford. |
