In the winter, the family moved to Lovelady where the kids would be closer to the schools and they would walk to school each day. Later in his life he became the Judge in Lovelady and he dealt with misdemeanor offenses. He loved his swing on his front porch and everyone knew when he came to the porch it was time to grab a chair and get out of his swing. He loved his family and he and his wife raised children who became very successful in life. One of his son's, Joe Bell Platt along with his wife, Vida Lee, took care of them as he aged and was no longer farming. His children all contributed to their parents well-being up until the day they departed this earth.
