They had an intense love for the land and were best remembered for
their efforts to protect the Buffalo River.
In 1979 they conveyed approximately 711 acres, including their homestead
to the National Park Service for addition to the Buffalo National River.
On January 1, 1991 their home was destroyed by fire apparently caused by arson.
Harold passed away on March 5, 2005 at the age of 91.
Margaret passed away on October 10, 2010 at the age of 93.
