"Maud's two sisters and brother were in the Dakota Territory. Because Maud wanted to be near them, she insisted over Frank's vacillations that they move there. Maud, Frank, and her two sons moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota, on September 20, 1888, because Frank believed there would be better business opportunities in the West."
Thank you for pointing out this inaccurate statement. I have modified the article.
Page 21 of the L. Frank Baum: Creator of Oz book says:
Despite his record of disappointments, Baum was still determined to pursue success as a businessman, as his father had, and was still confident of finding lucrative opportunities. Although Maud had not liked the western cities she had seen when accompanying Frank with "The Maid of Arran" company in 1882, she would have enjoyed being near her brother and sisters and doubtless welcomed a project that might give the family financial security.
When Maud's father died, "Pastor Hawley executed the funeral"... Grim upon grim. I can't decide on a substitute at the moment. There has to be a better term. Time for Roget's, I guess. Rags (talk) 12:52, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"In the summer of 1887, Maud, Frank, and their children lived in the house of Maud's mother, Matilda, whom they frequently visited." Am I just dense? Soes this make sense? Rags (talk) 14:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
