When he was 27, he married Veda Leola Tiffany,daughter of Arthur L Tiffany and Ella Frances Wright, in May 1925 in Rochester, Monroe, New York, USA. His cause of death was Death - Suicide in Rochester, Monroe, New York, USA.

There is no Headstone, however, a marker grave was utilized. Following a thorough research it would be conclusive that Dewey was a definite family man and retained good jobs when young, despite the suicide. Up to his death - there were many articles in the local newspaper (hometown of his wife) indicating; family gatherings, parties, picnics, etc. The 2 years prior to his death, he in fact lost loved ones and close relations.
