They farmed for many years in Leaf Valley township and then moved to Willmar and then farmed in Burlene township in the Clotho area.

Eleanore was a wonderful musician, who enjoyed playing piano and writing and playing her own music. She was a wonderful writer, not only in writing her own poetry but also in writing letters. In this way she stayed in touch with many family members and friends over the years even though she wasn't able to visit them. She loved nature, watching the birds and working in her flower garden. Another of Eleanore's talents was watercolor painting. She made many paintings into cards and gifts that she shared with others.
