The couple moved to Riverside, IA, where they lived for three years before returning home to farm near Collis. They eventually moved to the family farm where they lived until they moved into Graceville only one week ago.
Glenn loved life on the farm and took great pride working the land and raising livestock and milking cows. Later, Glenn worked for Great Plains Lumber Company in Chokio, MN; however, his true love was farming. A great number of folks from this area have enjoyed the produce from Glenn's gardens.

Glenn made and installed all of the present day hymnal holders in the church.
