They homesteaded and purchased additional land in Perkins Co., Sections 14, 23 and 24, Township 17 North, Range 10 East, Black Hills Meridian.

It appears Edith passed away before 1912, as her deed is made out to the Heirs of Edith Meredith, Jan. 4, 1912

The family was back in Union Grove, WI by 1917, when both George and Harry registered for the draft there and the family all appears in the 1920 census in WI.
