was lost during the depression because they couldn't pay the mortgage. Next they noved to Lake County
(Niece) where they owned property, and lived there for 11-12 years. They then moved to Long Beach for 4 years
or so, after which they bought a guest ranch in Helendale, CA, where they lived and worked for about 17 years.
