It wasn't long after that, that the Muchowski's bought the Bear Valley ranch from Napoleon Bessette.

In 1918, they moved to Killiney and farmed an orchard for H. P. Hodges. In the meantime, Joe re-bought the Candide Quesnel farm where his youngest son, John, logged and farmed the land until 1921. Then his sister Mary, and her husband, Pat Tuohy, and her parents returned to farm it once again.
