Dorothy and Peter Stroud with their children, 1922
Peter Stroud spent his early years with his parents at Chapel Hill, ND. He enlisted in the army early in the Spanish-American War and was in the field artillery during the famous battle of San Juan Hill. Soon after that war he re-enlisted in a company that was bound for the Philippine Islands where he soon transferred to civil service, in which capacity he spent the next several years. During the latter part of this tour of duty he was in charge of the purchase of all supplies needed by the United States government in the whole group of islands.
Soon after meeting Dorothy Chaffee, her father prevailed on him to come to Minneapolis where he became associated with the John Miller Company, the grain selling division of the parent farming business, a connection that he maintained until this business was dissolved in the 1930's. Thereafter he was in business for himself in Minneapolis, at Amenia, and later at Anoka,MN until his death in 1959.
Dorothy's second husband, George Langworthy, was city salesman for one of the large printing establishments in Minneapolis.
