Around 1886 the family moved back to Iowa. Then about 1895 they removed to Arkansas, first living in Arkansas Co., and later to Garland Co. where they lived around Hot Springs. He married Bessie Bullard there in 1900, and that same year Rutherford and his wife were living next door to his father.
By 1910 Rutherford and Bessie had moved to Mead, Spokane Co., Washington, where they settled and raised their family.
