1920 - 12 Jan By 12 Jan 1920 Harold had moved to Aberdeen, Brown County, South Dakota, USA and was living with his adopted brother Arthur and Arthur's wife Pearl.

1923 About this time Harold married Helen (Holm ?), who had been born in South Dakota of Norwegian parents.[8][9]

1924 Daughter Dorothy L. Bonnel was born in South Dakota, USA.[10]

1925 Harold reported on the South Dakota 1925 Census that he had lived in South Dakota for seven years and that his occupation was "clerk."
