His father was 1876 Elmer James Pulis.

His mother was 1879 Huldah Marie Johnson.

His Selective Service registration card states that he stood 5'6"
and weighed 155 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.  He was 
age 30 when he registered in 1940.

He was married in 1951 to 1910 Verna Marie Pepper.
They had no children that we know of.

I have no information about Verna at this time, however in Montana 
state survey records (see link below) it is shown that a neighbor
of the Pulis family in Wilsall had "James Pepper" as the owner of
land adjacent or near to the Pulis farm, so it seems very likely
that Verna was his daughter.  Elmer and Milton Pulis and James Pepper 
are named in this collection of 1951 survey field notes.

I think Milton is at right of the back row in the photo at right.

The photo was taken about 1940 at Grigsby's Studio, Livingston, MT.
