Married William Edwin Anway June 1921.

On Oct. 19, 1920, Louis’ long-widowed father married Orpha Ralston, who, according to family history, was a former Harvey Girl who worked at the Grand Canyon.

Orpha Anway would spend many years involved in the Postvale Co-operative Women’s Club, including as president. The club was involved in many civic activities, including petitioning the government to change the local post office name from Postvale to the area’s first known name, Marana. Although the group renamed itself the Marana Women’s Club, it would be a few years before the area name Postvale fell out of popular use.
