In April 1946, Verne enlisted in the Army Air Corp and served as an aerial engineer. Returning from his army service, he farmed in the White Oak community until ill health forced him to quit. He was a member of the White Oak School Board and an active member in the White Oak Church.

The family moved to Slater in 1957 and then transferred their church membership to the Slater Methodist Church.

Verne Huser passed away at the Veterans' Hospital in Des Moines on Dec. 7, 1965 after a lengthy illness.
