The first Sunday they attended the Brazito Nondenominational Community Church which was located in the Brazito School House. They both worked very hard doing manual labor and saving every penny toward a farm of their own. They saved enough to rent a farm and then purchase one of their own. In 1945 while renting the Vickers place, their third child was born. That was the year they bought their first farm. Alma was a super homemaker and mother.
