The house still stands and is presently owned by the daughter, Mrs. Pearl Dochow Boyles and her husband, Owen. The bricks for the chimney wee hauled from Norcatur and the lumber from Jennings. A second trip had to be made to Norcatur after the youngest child, Joe was found breaking the new bricks with his hammer. John and Pete Pauls and Harry Munson assisted Herman in building his house. Nick Hahn bore a well near the house in 1891. In June 1909, Pearl went to Kansas City, MO where she worked for the Loose and Wyld Candy Company and the Walkers Laundry. Later, she kept house for Miller Hageman, her grandmother's uncle who ran an apartment housers' laundry. In 1910, Pearl met Owen Boyles, a furniture finisher who worked for Robert Keith Carpet and Furniture Company. They were married at Olathe, KS on March 6, 1912. They bought a home in Kansas City, MO and lived there until 1916 when they moved to Jennings. When Joe [Dochow] as arrayed into the United States Army in 1916, Pearl and Owen Boyles returned to Jennings to be with Mrs. Dochow and to keep the Dochow farm in operation. On July 20, 1926, a son, Joe was born to Pearl and Owen. Joe attended elementary and high school at Jennings and in Oberlin. He served his country in World War II. He is married to Katherine Kirk and is now living in Kansas City, MO. They have a 16-year-old daughter, Vicki. Mrs. Addie Dochow's retirement years were spent on the farm with Pearl and Owen. Pearl and Owen still reside on the farm enjoying the freedom of the out-of-doors. They have rented the farm ground and have things pretty much as they want them out there. They still have chickens and a ga4rden and depend on their car to get them to the places where they need to go. On March 14, 1974, Pearl's 91st birthday, Mrs. Leroy (Florence Nauer) Wyld hosted a birthday party honoring Pearl and Mrs. Ruby Stroup, whose birthdays are on the same day. Mahy friends and relatives called to extend congratulations, Pearl and Owen enjoy each day to the fullest keeping informed by reading and watching TV and listening to radio programs. They vote at elections, and enjoy visiting and entertaining. The Welcome Mat is always at the door.
