Family History

In 1920, Joseph and Irene, along with their son Roland, were living with Joseph's parents in Longmont, Colorado. By 1930, Joseph and the family was renting a farm in the nearby town of Lyons, Colorado, about 5 miles from Longmont. In 1935, they were still residing in rural Boulder County, likely on the same farm or around Lyons still. By 1940, the family had moved 200 miles Southwest to Loma, Colorado, where they rented another farm and continued farming.
