After five years were up, they bought 80 acres of ground from Joe Hincks where their home is now located. Later they bought another 80 acres from Will Roos, and built a nice home, which burned down on Nov 17, 1927. They lived in a granary until Robert could get more logs out and build the home they have since been residing in.
Mr Heiner and Ernest Wolfley bought 160 acres, cleared, and each took 80 acres to farm, owning and sharing their farm, machinery and getting along very well.
In 1942 they lost all their cattle from diphtheria, and Mr Wolfley supplied their family with milk until they were able to obtain more cows.
Fishing was Robert's hobby and he spent many happy hours at it.
He served as a director of Lower Valley Power and Light Inc. and as a director in the Star Valley Swiss Cheese Co. in Thayne. He worked hard to help get a pipeline and water system in Bedford. He was skilled as a carpenter and enjoyed this work, building hundreds of buildings in the valley, including the old Bedford and Thayne creameries and the ward cultural hall. He helped build the American Theatre at Thayne and many homes and taught his sons the trade. He made many fine caskets. In his later years he devoted much time to beautification of the Bedford Cemetery.
