Ferdinand,Jr.,the eldest son of Ferdinand Popp,Sr. and Mary Schneider Popp,married Anna Staff on February 7,1911.Seven children were born to this union.Ferdinand and Anna rented their first farmland from the Popp homestead and Margaret,August,and Bernard were born at this site.

In 1918,Ferdinand and Anna bought a one-hundred-acre farm three miles west of Nada from the John Schneiders.Leontina,Joseph,Lawrence,and Marcella were born on this farm.Here the family worked together to support the family from the land.Ferdinand and the boys worked the land with horses and the whole family worked together picking cotton,pulling corn,baling hay,and gathering all the other crops.The family raised their own vegetables,chickens,pigs,and they fished along the creek that ran through their property.

The Catholic religion was always a point of focus in this family-a family that worked together,prayed together and relaxed together.This Christian family atmosphere yielded three religious vocations:Ferdinand and Anna gave their oldest son Bernard and two youngest daughters:Leontina and Marcella,to the service of the Church.The other four children married:Margaret married Gustav Swoboda,Augusta married George Gerberman,Joseph married Bernice Leopold,and Lawrence married Clara Leopold.

These children continued the Christian family spitit in their families.One son,Lawrence,preceded his parents in death.Both Ferdinand and Anna lived to be 87.
