At that time there were no hospitals in Gillette, so Paulyne’s mother decided to travel back to Denver (where she was from) to have her first child. At that time the road from Gillette to Douglas was nothing more than a one track wagon road. On the trip they got lost several times and had to ask cowboys for directions. Paulyne and her parents stayed for several months in Denver before returning home. Upon the return home a neighbor to the south Emil Pfieffer asked Paulyne’s parent to house sit for the winter, so that he could return to Philadelphia to see his mother.

In 1936 her parents sold the homestead and moved to Arkansas for a short time. Not liking it, they moved back within a year and her father eventually started a trucking and sand/gravel business. Paulyne attended school in Gillette and graduated from Campbell County High school in 1946. At the high school Paulyne’s studies included the Normal Training School. This program was for the development of rural school teachers.
