They lived with and worked for Paul Abkes on the farm south ofAustinville for 1 year. They then moved to Austinville and livedupstairs in the house owned by Pete's parents who lived downstairs. Atthis time Peter worked for Peter Limburg in the hatchery and sellingfeed. After a time there, Peter Schaap bought a portable hammermillwhich was the first one west of the Mississippi.
