He worked in that area until age 17, when he moved to the St. Joe area, where he was employed by area farmers. He served in the South Pacific with the Seabees of the U.S. Navy, and in 1944 he married Zita Thill in St. Benedict. Following his discharge from the service, the couple made their home in Lindsay, TX, and later moved to Renwick, where they were engaged in farming. He later worked for the Kossuth County roads department. His wife died in 1951. He moved to Glabriath where he operated the Galbraith Store, until it closed in the 1960s.
