He was united in marriage to Mable Brown on March 15, 1952 at her family home. The couple farmed in Milo Township near Foreston, which they owned for over sixty years. Teunis had many happy years on the farm he shared with his wife and girls. He got up early every morning to milk the cows, most of which he raised from calves.
