Jacob and Mary purchased his parents farm and had a very productive farm and well managed operation until 1945, when Jacob took sick. His Dr. evaluated him and he was diagnosed to have "Consumption" or some times referred to as Tuberculosis". The Dr. contacted The Walker Minnesota State Sanatorium, a Sanatorium for Consumptives, and Jacob was admitted.
Mary, the children, relatives, neighbors and friends were permitted to visit Jacob, and did visit Jacob at the Sanatorium. Most visits took place on Sunday afternoons or during the Holidays.
Mary and some of the children continued to manage/work the farm. After some time, she sold the farm and moved to Litchfield, Meeker County, Minnesota. She died at the Emmanuel Nursing Home in Litchfield, Meeker County, Minnesota and was buried beside her husband Jacob in the St. Boniface Cemetery, Cold Spring, Stearns County, Minnesota. djk
