| Oaks St: After Marie's marriage to Domingo Mendionde in 1950, they purchase 3/4 of an acre on Oaks St. Domingo thought this was too close to town and they searched for a larger property outside of town. They continued to own this house as a rental until they died. |

| Magnolia Ave: Their search for a bigger property took them one block to the east on Magnolia. In 1951, this property was completely surrounded by farms. They initially purchased 10 acres but at the urging of Matias Etchart, they bought 1/2 acre to the north where they established their home and barn. They kept the 10 acres for growing of corn which they did for over 10 years until the School District took the property through eminent domain. They maintained the house on Magnolia for the remainder of their lives. |
