They lived most of their life in the community known as Shorey, northwest of North Topeka. For a short time in the early years of the marriage, they lived in Kansas City, Missouri where they operated a grocery store in partnership with Quindarow and Frank DeRhodes.

Before they were married, he worked in the goldfields in Colorado, while she worked as a bookkeeper for the Harvey Houses and was stationed in Western Kansas. When he returned to Kansas, he brought with him three large nuggets, one of which he had made into Mother's wedding ring. The other two were kept and were quite a conversation on a cold winter's night. Father was quite a story teller. We would sit around the coal stove eating popcorn and apples, which he always stored plenty of, andhe would unravel a toale good enough for a western movie today. I imagine some had a grain of truth to them, some things from his own life.

"Mother" and "Father" are terms used by the author of this source, Frances Dee Krasny.
