In the 1940 U.S. census, Rupert, 42, and Vesta, 41, were still renting, and Rupert was farming on his own account. [The census reports they were renting for $900 per month, but this must have been a yearly rental, or the value of the land.] Rolly had completed the second year of high school, and Vesta had completed four years of high school. Their children were Ivan, 17, who had completed four years of high school and was farming, and Lois, 15, who had completed seventh grade.
