Eugene was converted Sept. 21, 1943. The first eight years of marriage, they farmed in the Artas area. They then moved to a farm three miles west and four miles south of Eureka. They farmed there until retiring and moved into Eureka in 1980. They were then caretakers of the Lakeview Apartments until 2001. Rose died Jan. 29, 2004.
Since September 2005, He had lived at the Golden Living Center in Ipswich. Eugene's church and farming were very important to him, however his greatest pride in life was his family.
