They lived on the farm purchased and paid for by Claudia Tesh prior to marriage. It was the Elisa Raper farm, adjoining her father's. She had rented his farm for a number of years, 115 acres, and in the fall of 1909 it became available to purchase and she grabbed it. She was determined to pay the $4000. debt before marriage, without help from her fiance, and it was paid in full early winter of 1913. Following their March marriage, they built a beautiful white 11 room colonial home and barn and outbuildings. Unfortunately, David contracted a 2 yr illness which culminated in his death just 7 years after marriage. He died 30 Dec 1919. On 19 Jan 1920 Mary Magdalene Berrier was born.
