After Sylvester's return from the war early in 1946, he purchased a farm north of Red Lake Falls in Browns Creek township where he lived with his sister Evelyn. Together they farmed and cared for their parents until their parents eventual move to nursing homes. Sylvester raised dairy cows, chickens, hogs and small grains on his farm, together with a few nephews who helped with the summer farm work.
