He moved on to the Boys Market for a few years before going to work for Henry Schessler at Schessler's Food. Hubie, along with his brother, Ken, was considered one of the best meat cutters in Laurel.

On July 5, 1939, he married
Helen Laukka. They were together for 32 years before her sudden illness and death in January, 1972.

Marit Othelia Aardahl was born on Jan. 21, 1911, near Maynard, Minn., the daughter of Ole and Marit (Loe) Gjevre. She was baptized at Wang Lutheran Church on Feb. 2. Othelia was reared in the household of her maternal grandparents, Iver and Berit Loe. She graduated from Maynard High School in 1928, Red Wing Seminary in 1930, and Concordia College in 1932. She zealously pursued the task of educating herself and others. She taught English, speech and drama in a variety of rural Minnesota communities throughout the 1930s and 1940s, including: Beaver Creek, West Concord, Ruthton, Belview, and Waseca; and she served as school principal at Emmetsburg, Iowa. She also taught at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, and at Brainerd Junior College. Othelia spent several summer sessions at the University of Minnesota, and in 1946 she enrolled as a full-time M.A. student in the field of English Literature.
She was an enthusiastic student of Nordic land and lore; it was her life-long thrill to have spent the summer of 1948 at the University of Oslo, Norway. Affliction with Alzheimer's disease dashed her hopes of returning there with her family. On June 7, 1952, Othelia married
Leslie Aardahl in Minneapolis. They spent a year in Crosby, N.D., and two-and-a-half years in Miles City, before settling in Glendive. Othelia briefly taught at Miles Community College and "subbed" at Dawson County High School.
Othelia loved to sing, participating in school and church choirs and offering solos at social occasions into her middle years. She enjoyed two careers, having taught school for over 20 years before becoming a homemaker. Othelia was a fine educator, unusually attentive to the employment of words, blessed with a quick wit and a mischievous sense of sarcasm. She was an attentive wife and mother, and a devoted member of the Lutheran Church. Her gradual decline has been grieved by family and friends.
"Tillie, " as she was known by some, was preceded in death by her mother (a week after her birth), father, and a sister, Blanche Dozler.
She is survived by her husband, Leslie, of Glendive; her son, Wesley Aardahl and his wife, Rebecca of Dagmar; two young grandchildren, Kristian and Nils.
Memorials are suggested to the Zion Lutheran Church, 401 Riverview, Glendive, Mont. 59330 or the Alzheimer's Association, 2 Poly Drive, Billings, Mont. 59101.
