Oscar Alfred Alm and Hazel Jean Maurer Alm were married in Binford on June 24, 1920.  Oscar was born on January 20, 1893 and Hazel on September 2, 1898 and resided all of their adult lives in Binford and Griggs County.  Oscar served in the United States Marine Corps during World War I, returning to Binford after his service.  Until his death on December 8, 1951, he was a rural mail carrier in Binford. 

As a youth and in early manhood, he was an amateur baseball player with Binford teams and was affectionately known as "Rabbit.”  He maintained an active interest in sports all of his life and was always a supporter of the Binford Eagles, driving the team to many of their games.  He was instrumental in the support for the gymnasium and spent many hours working on that project. 

As a mail carrier, he once appeared on a national radio program, "RFD America," because he was one of the few mail carriers in the United States who served his patrons from the air, as he did for some of the later winters of his career.

Hazel literally grew up with Binford since her parents were some of the very first settlers of that community.  For many years of her life, she worked actively with Dr. J. R. Truscott as he ministered to the sick of the Binford area.  Many are the tales she can tell of midwinter visits to farms and homes of the Binford community in the company of this prairie doctor to whom so many owed their lives.  Always active in every facet of community life, she worked with church and school.  Her "white cakes with sour cream frosting" were always in evidence at church suppers, school picnics or wherever good food was being served.

Both Oscar and Hazel were active members of fraternal organizations, Oscar in the Oddfellows and Hazel in the Rebekahs.  Hazel served as state president of the Rebekahs and traveled throughout North Dakota during her term of office.  She still retains friendships with many people in that organization.
