Later they moved to a farm near Hawarden, and in 1955 they moved to town. The two were married for 60 years when Leonard passed away in 1999. Gertrude enjoyed sewing, quilting and cooking. She loved giving her talents to family and friends. Also a big part of those memories was a busy farm life, hired men and the sale barn in Hawarden.
