Ula moved south of Muscotah, KS where John Junior farmed with his father and brother. In 1953, they had a son, John Jay, who currently manages the farm operation. In 1957, they built a new home on the farm. In 1958, they had their second son, James Rex who is a faculty member at the University of Kansas. In 1971, John Junior became president of Kansas Farm Bureau and they lived in Manhattan, KS until 1983. During this time, Ula and Junior traveled throughout Kansas, the United States, and around the world including many countries in Europe, Asia, South America, North Africa, and the Caribbean. Ula was very active in The Muscotah United Church serving as a member on the Board of Trustees, a Sunday School teacher, and on numerous other committees.
