They lived on various farmsteads in the Spiritwood and Buchanan area until 1959 when they purchased the home farm five miles south of Wimbledon, ND. In 1982, the couple moved to a home near Jamestown. In October 2007, they rented an apartment at the Heritage Centre. Anne moved to Ave Maria Village in November of 2009.
