They had five children: Samuel Kenneth, Florence Emily, Burman Wilson, Harold O and Beverley J. In 1936 Sam & Violet operated a private hospital in the Connelly residence at 5 Crawford St., Cobden (currently Heubner?s Funeral Home) In 1940 they opened an Appliance Store at 36 Main St. Sam purchased the property in May 1955 from his step-mother?s estate. The display of antiques in the store window proved to be more alluring for business and the focus shifted over time away from appliances.
