In 1880, Napoleon continued working as an engineer and now was widowed from his second wife. He was left to care for his rather young family and an elderly mother, now 79 years old. Napoleon's sister, Caroline, also lived with the family and helped to care for the children; Antone, 13; Lizzie, 11; Louis, 9; and Jinny, who is possibly Florence, 5.

By 1900, Napoleon was living in his home on Blair Road with his third wife, Myra and their 5 children along with his sister, Caroline. He was working as a marine engineer while Myra remained at home with the children.

By 1910, Napoleon was farming his land and is listed as a produce farmer. While the census lists Napoleon's marriage as his third, this was only Myra's first. The home was busy with 2 of their five children remaining home; Myra's brother, Oscar Marshall, living with them; as well as Napoleon's 80 year old sister, Caroline. If that did not make it busy enough, they also had a boarder, Peter J. Nelson from Denmark, living with them.
