Two days later, Melv was called to serve his country in the US Army in Japan. Upon Melv's return 1 ½ years later, they made their home in Carmel. After one year, they moved to the Mouw family homestead located 1 ½ miles west of Sioux Center and continued to live there for 35 years. They became members of the First Reformed Church of Sioux Center. Melv & Mina decided to build a new home across from the farm where Mina lived for 30 years.
