They moved to a ranch north of Harrison where Cleo, Edna and Allen were born. They then moved back to Kirtley on his father's ranch where Warren, Herman Jr. and Margaret were born. They lived there for 15 years when they moved to Flattop, Wyoming. In 1944 they moved to Manville where they lived for the rest of their lives.

Cora was active in the Manville Homemakers Club. She enjoyed crocheting, embroidery, her lawn and garden and fishing.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Herman, one daughter Anna Belle, two sons Leonard and Allen, and two grandchildren Janet Faye Outhouse and Robert Leeling.

Survivors include her four children, Cleo Petersen of Harrison, Neb., and Edna Outhouse of Lusk, Warren Leeling of Scottsbluff, Neb., and Margaret Heine of Lusk.
