In the fall of 1882, they moved to a farm at Rose Hill, northwest of Blair; in 1883, Mr. and Mrs. Lindberg moved to a farm southwest of Herman, where they resided for four years. They returned to Blair in 1887 to spend the remaining years of their lives. Mrs. Lindberg had lived in her home on East Grant Street for more than fifty years.
