Georgia, Hate to bother you on this, but is it possible to do a Census lookup for Samuel's other son, Robert Lee Sellers? Robert Lee Sellers was born 18 Jan 1905 and died 26 May 1937. He married Nora Verda Brown in November 1933. He supposedly lived in Yankton, Yankton County, S.D. If he can be found on the 1930 S.D. Census, and we can see the state listed for *his* birth, perhaps it will help guide when the family left Iowa for S.D. From the Census info you kindly provided earlier, we saw that Jerome Bruce (1897) and Arena Lucille (1901) put the family in Iowa at least thru 1901. Perhaps Robert's 1905 birthdate State will tell us that the family was either still in Iowa as of 1905 or had already gone to S.D. Thanks so much for all your help so far. I hope I'm not being a pain by making additional inquiries.

I do not find a Robert Sellers in the 1930 census of South Dakota and I find no Sellers in Yankton County. Have you found him in the 1920 census? Eldon J.
