Like many homesteaders of that time, their homesteads didn't provide enough to live on so they returned to Hall Co. to work in the cotton harvest to be able to continue living on the homestead.

Jack moved Julia to the homestead at Olive, NM. Jack enlisted in WWI from Olive, Chaves Co., NM while living on the homestead. Upon his return he and his wife Julia continued lilving on the homestead. Their first two of Glendon Jackson and Juanita Mae were born at Elida, NM.
