There they did truck gardening until the city of Chicago grew and their land was sold to the city. Most of their estate was donated to the Catholic Church, St. Jerome's Parish in Chicago. John went on to Butler County, Nebraska. On July 25, 1876, John and his wife Mary homesteaded an acre farm east of Bellwood on which St. Mary's and St. Peter's Cemetery is located today. In 1878 on the 23rd of April, they donated 20 rods square of their farm to the St. Mary's Congregation of Platte Valley for a cemetery. This being the original part of the cemetery now used today by people of the Catholic faith of the Bellwood area and now known as St. Mary's and St. Peter's Cemetery. John and Mary had one son, John Jr. Mary died in the late 1870's or early 1880's. John's second wife, Agnes Siedel, and her daughter, Anna, came to America in 1884 from Austria. They were married around 1885 and two children were bom to this union: William and Minnie. They moved from this farm to a farm south of Bellwood, then to Polk county, and then to Platte county northwest of Columbus. They were married for 42 years at the time of John's death in 1927. He was 96 years old and apparently the oldest man in the area at the time of his death. His wife Agnes died in 1930. Anna married William Welsh of St. Paul. They had five children. John Jr. never married and remained at home with his parents until their deaths. He then resided with William. William married Clara Beierle. To this union five children were born. William continued farming northwest of Columbus as four of his children and their children do today. Minnie Sprunk married Joseph F. Mick.
