Dave Baum, head 35. Merl, wife 24. Both were 19 when first married. Children: Ray, son 7; Laverne, son 3; Ronald, son 2y 2mo. Owns farm. He is a general farmer working on his own account; he is a veteran. Both parents can read and write. All were born in Utah. Both sets of parents were also born in Utah.
Note: there is a discrepancy in the age of Merl. She is listed as Myrl in the 1920 census at the age of 21 thus making her at least 31 in 1930. Also, the children listed in the 1920 census are not reflected in the current census. According to David Baum's obituary, he was married twice. The children appear to be the children of his second marriage yet the name of the first wife is reflected in the census year. His second wife, Hazel, was born in 1905 making her 24-25 during this census taking. If that is the case, then Ray is the son of his previous wife and both Laverne and Ronald the son's of his second wife. Additionally, the 1940 census reflects Hazel's age as 34.
Olive Delores and David Norbert are living with their grandparents in 1930. |

Notes |
- It is believed, although not verified, that his first wife, Myrl (or Merl), surname was Bancroft and not Van Croft as cited in the 1962 obituary of David William Baum. While he was recorded in both the 1920 and 1930 census with wife Merl, Myrl was also recorded in the 1930 census as being remarried to Earl McCormick with two of her daughters listed in the census but with the surname McCormick. The same daughters are not listed with him on the 1930 census. A third daughter, Emma or Erma, recorded in the 1920 was not found with either parent. Myrl did not die until 4 Sep 1934. Documentation reflects that David William Baum married Hazel Sweat in 1925.
An Ancestry Family Tree (Rowley Family Tree) reflects that David William Baum and Myrl Marie Bancroft were divorced on 24 Dec 1924 but the information is not sourced. The same tree reflects the marriage of Myrl and Earl Edward McCormick on 20 Nov 1926 and is sourced. Unfortunately, none of the children are documented for either marriage.
Update: Upon closer inspection of the 1920 census, it was noted that the child, Erma or Emma, was actually a child of George and Cellie Bancroft, dwelling 72, family 72 and not dwelling 73, family 73. Myrl's mother, Oliva, was next door to David and Myrl Baum along with her son George and wife Callie. It appears that the census taker inadvertently missed Erma (Emma) when recording individual's at that residence and documented her with the Baum family but noted the family 72 designation that was not caught earlier. Emma is listed with George and Callie in the 1930 census in Duchesne, Duchesne, Utah. She has been removed from the marriage of David and Myrl.
