They lived on a large row crop farm that was owned by Richards father in Mesa Arizona that produced watermelon, cantaloupe, lettuce, potatoes and three hundred acres of plum and orange, until they moved to Ontario Oregon where they began dairy farming. Margaret devoted many of her years serving others around her, civic duties in the community as well as giving her attention to her church callings.
