They lived on a farm in Madison, they raised crops, pigs, and 12 KIDS that lived. In todays times they would have gone to jail, but in the turn of the century repeated beatings with a buggy whip where the norm. Very cold people, they left Nebraska after the kids all started running off, and settled in Norco, California in 1936. Eight of the kids had come to the area first. The weather was better and there was work. Life was better.He died of bronchial pneumonia, 5 months after moving, he was 71.
