The young couple lived for a time in Toronto, where Daniel worked in shipping for Eaton's department stores. They moved to North Bay and bought a house. He got a job for Johns-Mansville as a set-up man for machines.
In 1960, he and his wife bought the Dionne homestead from Oliva, moved in upstairs with their children, and opened the downstairs to the public as a museum. They were soon overwhelmed with traffic and visitors, and the number of people coming through and asking questions were more than Daniel could take. It brought back all of the old memories that he disliked talking about. They sold the farmhouse after only two years.
Daniel later married a second wife, Marie, and they were married for 11 years until he died at the age of 62.
