Otto worked for a Coal Dealer, delivered coal to the residents of Holdrege, Otto had developed a liquor problem so their marriage ended in separation, Aunt Anna took Floyd with her and moved to Colorado Springs where she had some relatives, Pauline stayed with us for a couple of years and we went to country school together, then Pauline joined her mother in Colorado.
[...]
Aunt Anna got a job in the laundry at Stratton Home for Children so Pauline and Floyd grew up at the Home, when Pauline and Floyd finished High School in Colorado Springs, Aunt Anna purchased a home in Colorado Springs and worked as a Hair Stylist in a Salon, one time she was nearly electrocuted from a faulty hair drier.
Pauline worked in the office of the City Electric Co., Floyd started his career working for a Produce Co., and was still working there trucking produce to and from California when he was called into the Service during World War 2.
Pauline married William H. Rohe Mar. 18, 1945, her husband operated a Grocery Store for a number of years, then he sold the store and semi retired Pauline and "Bill" enjoyed going to the Gunnison River, fly fishing for trout, Pauline got quite adept at handling a fly-rod, Bill invested his money in discount mortgages, they had one, a Motel that they had to repossess, so they operated it for a couple of years until they were able to resell it.
After her husband died Pauline moved into a High Rise Apartment in Colorado Springs, CO. and still lives there, while I was able to travel I could visit her in the fall of nearly every year, we still keep in touch by phone and 'letter.
