He then helped operate the family farm. On June 22, 1949, he was united in marriage to Naomi Peterson at her parents' home north of Atlantic, Iowa. They farmed north of Audubon, then farmed in the Atlantic area, then farmed in the Elk Horn/Marne area until 1966 when they purchased a farm west of Exira.
