Frank and Jan farmed and milked cows near Oelwein, West Union, and Fredericksburg until moving to Cresco in 1969. There they established a Purebred Duroc and Yorkshire hog farm.

Jan enjoyed flea markets and collecting antiques, starting when you could buy a full box for 25 cents. She has had two antique shops and displayed her wares at numerous flea markets. She made cornhusk dolls, loved playing cards, going to casinos, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and traveling to Arizona in the winter.
