They had two sons, Ralph and Ross, and seven daughters. During the severe drought of 1933, the family moved to Shellbrook, settling first on the Lloyd Warren farm just south of the Rich Valley School, but moved in a few months and rented the Hank Martz farm. The family belonged to the Reorganised Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, and attended the church in the Rayside district. The family moved again to the Silver Cliff district.
