He is listed as age 41 and was previously married. She is listed as age 16 and was not previously married. The marriage was performed by William Murtaugh, who is listed as an officer of the Salvation Army (a captain). Witnesses to the marriage were George F Haynes and Ardith Lay. The maiden surname of the mother of the bride was indexed by FamilySearch as Jacks, but, based on examining the handwriting in the document image (and other documents related to her and her family), the correct name appears to be Jacka.^1,2

Elena Herrin and Otha Leonidas Baldwin appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana at 1915 Harris Street, enumerated 12 April 1940. The home was listed as owned, valued at $1500, and not on a farm. The official date of that census was 01 April 1940. Otha and Elena were both listed having lived in Sanger, Fresno County, California and in Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana ("same place"), respectively, on 1 Apr 1935 (they were not married to each other on 1 Apr 1935; that date was during an time period when he was on 7-month-log layoff from his railway job).

Elena is listed as not employed for wages, and not seeking such employment. No occupation was listed for her. No 1939 wage income was reported for her and she did not have non-wage income in excess of $50 in 1939. The population schedule indicates a farm schedule was not filed for this household.^1,6

He was taxed for 101 acres of land on the Sandy Creek watercourse that was valued (or assessed) at $265. He was also taxed for horses apparently valued (or assessed) at $40 (the number of horses was not listed that year and the dollar value is difficult to read) and 4 cattle valued (or assessed) at $25 over the ($50) threshold value. There is also an “equity” value of $5 listed (is not clear how this was applied to the assessed value). The total value (or assessment) for the land and property was $395 (which does not seem to be a correct total). The household was listed as containing 5 children ages 5 to 16 (which seems inconsistent with prior and later years).¹

He was not taxed for any land, but he was taxed for one horse valued (or assessed) at $40. His name is listed immediately prior to listings for Jane Sills and Polly Sills, both of whom were taxed for land on the Sandy Creek watercourse (100 acres and 75 acres respectively). It is unclear it this “B. T. Sills” is the same individual as “Thomas B. Sills”.
