He was my grandmother's brother. She told me a sad story about him. Her husband dropped dead at the age of 42, leaving her with 3 young children. She had littel money and she and her children moved in with her parents, but he was a retire, small town minister and it was a financial burden on her parents. So Dave decided to pay for her to be trained as a seamstress.
He worked as a clerk in his fiance's father's store, but didn't make enough money to support both a wife and his sister's training. So he and Lena postponed their wedding until the trainng was finished and my grandmother had a job. Sadly, Dave died less than a year after his wedding.
