Carl grew up on a farm in Steuben County, the first of four children of his parents. When he was nine years old his mother died. When Carl was eleven he gained a step-mother, and in following years acquired seven half-siblings. Leona grew up on a farm in Steuben County, the first of four children. When she was twenty years old her father died; her mother continued to raise the family on her own.

Carl and Leona were both twenty-four yerars old when they married. They started their married life farming in Scott Township, Steuben County. By 1918 they were living in Angola, where Carl worked on another farm. Carl was soon working for a coal company. According to the 1920 census he was a laborer for a coal company.^[4] In 1930 he was a truck driver for a coal yard. That same Census described Leona as hostess of a boarding house.^[5]

Leona gave birth to five children, however the second and third were stillborn. The 1930 Census reported the family with the three surviving children as follows: Carl the father, 45, Leone, 45, Vivian, 19, Ella Lou, 14, in school, and Carl, 5.^[6]

When Carl signed up for the draft, on 12 September 1918, he was described as being medium height, medium build, with blue eyes and dark hair.^[7]

Eldest daughter Vivian married Herrick Smith, a civil engineer from New York, in 1931; they divorced in 1937. In December of that year she married Ancil B. McKenney. The 1940 Census found Vivian and Ancil living with his parents, Morris, 61, and Bertha, 59, at Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio, where Morris was a cutter at a shoe factory, Ancil a shoe salesman in a department store, and Vivian a sales lady in a department store.^[8]

Some time between 1930 and 1940 Carl Sunday bought a restaurant in Angola. Vivian had moved back to Angola by 1935 and was working in a restaurant when she married in 1937. The 1940 Census reported Carl Sunday a restaurant owner, Leona Sunday a restaurant manager, and Ella Lou Sunday, cashier at a restaurant.^[9]
