He served an LDS mission in Eastern Pa. and Western New York State. One of the women (they seemed to have lots of women missionaries during that time) was from Salt Lake City and when dad went to a missionary reunion at General Conference in Salt Lake a few years after returning from his mission, this woman told dad he needed to meet her friend LaRue Behunin.
They met. they were engaged for 5 years, and finally married August 19, 1938, at the SLC Temple in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. Mom wouldn't get married until she had paid off Jenny B's house I(Mary Jane Bromley). . . Will died, I think it was July 10, 1924, (William Carlos Behunin) mom was about 19 and she supported grandma and the younger brothers by working as the bookkeeper and credit manager of Walkover Shoe Store in downtown Salt Lake (she worked there 18 years). Mom's two older brothers married and left mom in charge as soon as she graduated high school. She was a pretty take charge person.
They had three children: Kent, Shirley & Ronald Behunin.
