Orpha had not become attached to a particular ward in Salt Lake, and John had been spending his time between Salt Lake and Coalville. The young couple started their marriage having many experiences in common. Both had grown up as members of Mormon families in small towns where their parents were recognized and respected members of their communities. Both had the experience of attending Utah colleges, with a year as fellow students at the University of Utah before they knew each other.

Roosevelt and other members of his family. In those days the FBI agents were called " G men (government men). When John and Orpha were married, they were both working for the Department of Justice, the FBI being part of it. A news item in the local paper announcing their forthcoming marriage was entitled, "G-Woman Gets Her Man." During the years while John was Assistant U S . Attorney it was permissible to maintain a private practice in association with a law firm. In 1934, John was associated with Delbert M. Draper, Marion G. Romney, and J.

As Orpha described the trip: We drove to Shiprock, New Mexico, and Window Rock, Arizona, then across the Navajo Reservation into Hopi country, coming out at Tuba City on the west, then north to Marble Canyon Bridge on our way home, and into Kanab. This was strictly a vacation. We did all the tourist things, bought many
