One of the times Joe and Anna Zimprich often mentioned was the time during the '30s when they saw the crop burning up before it was hardly out of the ground, wells went dry, pastures dried up, cattle had to be herded anywhere some grass could be found and water had to be hauled from the river for the stock.

Joe and Anna Zimprich, Sr. moved to Cooperstown in 1958. Anna passed away in 1967 and Joe, Sr. passed away in 1975.
