Jake and Anna Moved to Their First Farm

March 27, 1936  A very nice day.  John helped Jake and Anna move to their home.  Mary helped at Mrs. K. B. Reimers to prepare for the wedding.  I pruned trees.

Apparently Jake and Anna had stayed at the Cornelius Dalkes after they were married on the 18^th because the Dalkes had a big house and only the two of them were living there.  The Siemens house was full with the parents, three other teenagers, and three small children, so there would not have been a place for Jake and Anna.  There was no thought that new couples should have privacy when they first got married, so this was not at all unusual.  Jake and Anna rented a farm a farm that was about two miles east of the Siemens and a mile south.  And on this day, John helped his brother and sister-in-law move into their new farmhouse. 

Mary helped cook and clean at the K. B. Reimers in preparation for Corney and Margaret’s wedding the next day.
