He was a farmer, dairy farmer, cattle rancher, auto insurance claims adjuster, boilermaker, produce buyer and many others. They lived in Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. They moved to Highland (Number 83 on the 1958 Highland map) in the mid-1950s and lived here for seven or eight years then moved to American Fork where they remained for many years.
