See the record about Joyce in the 1950 United States Federal Census. At that time, she was 21 years old, married to Lynn, lived in apartment 164 at 620 West Temple in Salt Lake City, and that week worked 42 hours as a sales clerk in a Five and Ten Store.
Beehive House. In 1920, the Beehive House became a boarding house for young women around 18–25 years old. Leaders in the Young Ladies’ Mutual Improvement Association (YLMIA) recognized that more young women were moving to Salt Lake City in search of employment and education. They converted the Beehive House into a boarding house to provide “wholesome and appropriate” housing accommodations for these women. The Beehive House remained a boarding house until 1959. Comments by Jim Seely: “Joyce and also her younger sister Gwendoyln Seely Goates lived there. We moved to the 7th South house on my 4th birthday (July 6, 1942), and I remembered that Kent and I slept on the main floor in the room next where Mom and Dad Slept. And Glen & Lee were in the upstairs bedrooms on the West side of the house. And Karen & Gwen were upstairs on the East side, but I couldn’t remember Joyce ever living there. She went to BYU after High School and then moved to Salt Lake City and lived in the Beehive House. Your Dad got married in Nov 1948, so that is probably where she was when they got married. After they got married, they lived at the Seely Motel for a while (cabin #2) and then moved to Salt Lake City. They moved back when Jeff was still a toddler and your Dad took over running the grocery story (Lynn’s Market).”
