However, they soon purchased a small parcel of land at York and upon it built a house and blacksmith shop. Here they made their home for about eight years, when in 1890 they purchased the Rufus Hullett farm in Timber Creek and lived there until 1913, when the place was sold to Oscar Vesta, one of their sons. After disposing of their farm, they bought a few acres adjoining the old place and built their last home."
