He father, who was custodian at the high school, died on August 19, 1936, from a heart attack while working at the school. The Briar family faced difficult time following his death and had a hard time making ends meet.
In 1938, mother Briar moved to Auburn, Nebraska where there was more work. Caryll Jane remained in Nemaha and stayed with her brother Lowell and his wife Faye. Lowell had taken over the job as custodian of the school after his fathers death. She did this to finish her schooling and while there she worked part-time at a restaurant operated by Bill and Matilda Anderson.

Soon after his birth the family moved back to Auburn where her
husband worked for the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Co., as a grounds man. While living here Diane Lynn was born on
