By 1924, Chris owned the Johnson Hotel (Manfred Hotel) in Manfred, ND, and he established a lunch counter and pool hall there. By 1930, he had moved to Ashley ND, where he met and married Marion Isabel Johnson (1905-1978). From 1937 to 1943, Chris was business manager of the State Tuberculosis Sanatorium in San Haven, ND. Their first child, Christal Audrey, was born there in 1935. About 1943, the family moved to Wells County, where their second child, John Christopher, was born in 1945, and they farmed near Manfred on the home farm that had belonged to Chris's father Johannes Anhorn until Chris' retirement from farming, at which point they moved to a home in Fessenden.
Note: Chris was not given a middle name but as an adult chose E as a middle initial. Although early records call him Christ, his birth name may have been Christian, as he reported on his WWII draft registration card.
