While living in AR they built the town of Graceland (named after their daughter, Grace), which had a store, post office, hotel (operated by Judy and their daughters), lumber mill, and tenant houses. Joseph was secretary for these enterprises, which also included a mining refinery that he woned in Sharp County, AR. At one time he was the only person paying income tax in Baxter County. He was known in the area as the "Land Man". The following newspaper article is quotd from the Baxter County Bulletin of Mountain Home, date unknown.
