Notes for DAVID MELVILLE DICK:
From the Clio Messenger.
1924-07-10 - "Mr. and Mrs. Melville Dick and daughter, Joan, of Detroit, spent several days the past week with friends in Clio."
From the 1920 Wayne County census it was learned that Mary Dick (David's mother) lived at 166 Cortland Avenue in Highland Park.
Lester, Grace, Gladys and Harold Wright moved from Clio to Highland Park in 1916.Their address was 200 Cortland and they apparently lived there only one year.We had always heard that David Melville Dick left home at a very early age which accounts for his absence in the 1920 Mary Dick household.However, in 1916 David would only have been 14 years old and quite likely was still living at home.Assuming that Mary Dick and children were living on Cortland in 1916 it seems very likely that Gladys and David were neighbors.Looking at Mapquest maps, they probably lived no more that 4 or 5 house apart.Looks like they met on Cortland Avenue in 1916 when David was 14 and Gladys was 16 and, of course, we know that they were married in September 1919.

Marriage Notes for GLADYS WRIGHT and DAVID DICK:
From a September 16, 1969 newspaper article. "50th Anniversary Celebrated By Wolverine Couple. Mr. and Mrs. David Dick, 1865 Ladd Rd., Wolverine Village, were feted at a surprise party given by their children in celebration of their 50th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday Sept. 7, 1969. The couple were wed on September 11, 1919, at the North Woodward Presbyterian Church in Detroit. They have been residents of Wolverine since 1941. Since their children have grown and moved away from home the Dick's miniature poodle "Tammy" helps fill the gap of loneliness. She has been a member of the Dick family for over six years. When asked, "who is boss in a family with 50 years of marriage behind them," the immediate answer of both Mr. and Mrs. Dick was, "Tammy". Mr. Dick responded to the question of how do two people live compatibly for this length of time by saying, "Both husband and wife need that intangible something inside them make them stick to it. Too many young people today go into marriage with the thought that if it doesn't work we'll get a divorce. Divorces are too easy," Dick, now retired, was in the building business for most of their wedded life and they have moved from one house to another right on their street as he completed homes. Still extremely skilled with tools of the trade many items around their present home are expressive of his handiwork, including an attractive windmill sitting in their waterfront lot. The anniversary party was held at the home of their daughter, Mrs Harold Gustner, in Southfield. Over 50 guests enjoyed a buffet and 4-hour open house. Life long friends Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Stroecker attended from Port Charlotte, Florida. Other children of the Dick's who joined giving the party include their daughters, Mr. Robert Wallace, Union Lake, Mrs. Ray Greening, Wolverine Lake, and a son, Glen Dick, Union Lake. The Dicks also have 16 grandchildren."
