                                  Smith Harold James Detwiller and Gertrude (Gertie) Evelyn Sansburn were married on 24 Feb 1926, most likely in Griggs County, North Dakota.  Their only child, Andrew (AndyBill) William was born 3 Sep 1927 in Griggs County, North Dakota.  In the 1930 U.S. census, Harold, 27, and Gertrude, 30, were farming on a rented farm in Tyrol Twp., Griggs, North Dakota.  Their son Andrew was 2½ years old.  The family is seen at right with other family members.

The family moved to Wisconsin in 1936.  In the 1940 U.S. census, Harold, 36, Gertrude, 41, and Andrew, 12, were living in Downsville, Dunn Town, Dunn, Wisconsin.  Harold was farming on his own account.  A farm laborer, Clarence Rudd, 24, was living with them.

At some point in time, the family made their home in Menomonie, Dunn, Wisconsin, where Harold worked for Farmers Union Oil Co, for many years before retiring.  Their son Andrew developed cancer of the spine, and died 9 Apr 1943.  Gertrude died 19 Dec 1949 in Menomonie.

Harold went on to marry Clara M. Brehm Mousler about 1965.  He died 12 Mar 1975 in Menomonie.  All three are buried in Froens Cemetery, Menomonie, Dunn, Wisconsin.
