In October of 1946 the couple purchased the former Elmer Brown farm near Talcottville. They operated the farm until 1957 when they sold most of the land, although continuing to live at that location. In 1958 Mrs. Young began her employment at Boonville Manufacturing Co., where she was employed for thirty years by Robert D. Dustin and Richard M. Dustin.
