			During the first years of their marriage, it is not known exactly where Joseph and Anna first took up residence. It could have been with either set of parents, which was not uncommon in the first part of the twentieth century or they could have simply rented a company house from the mine owner. The 1920 Census lists the family as living in Dixonville in the County of Indiana, Pennsylvania when the census taker visited their home. The Census also shows that they lived very close to both sets of parents though it cannot be determined if they lived on the same street, as there were no street names or addresses used in the mining towns of that time. Their oldest daughter Mary’s marriage license also lists that she was born in Dixonville in Indiana County.

	During the family's years in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, Joseph and Anna rented or owned a total of seven houses on the southwest side of the city.

	Anna, or Baba as she was known to her grandchildren, was a no-nonsense type of grandmother who was used to running a large household full of kids. And despite the fact that we were her grand children, it made no difference. Grandson, granddaughter, son, daughter, niece or nephew, she treated us all the same – with firmness, with fairness and, despite the lack of a smile, with love. Smiles, it seems, were only given on special occasions and that made them all the more sought after. I suspect that the only one who could see beneath her façade was Joseph and that he was one of the few that could draw out a smile whenever he wanted one.

	Anna was baptized into the Catholic faith and was devout member of the Church in later years. She was a member of Sts.

	Anna was a very devote Catholic. Her daughter Dorothy remembered being very small and not old enough to sit still in church in the front pews with her siblings. She had to sit with my mother on the 'women's side of the church. One time Dorothy remembered sitting in the pew feeling very tired. As is common with young children, she closed her eyes and started to fall asleep. However, the moment she closed her eyes and leaned against her mother, Anna would give her a poke to the ribs with her elbow that indicated that sleeping in church was not acceptable and not to try that again.

	How Anna came to meet her future husband '''[[Joseph John Timko Sr.]]''' can only be a matter for speculation. It is known that the Slovak miners lived in very close-knit communities where everyone knew everyone else. Perhaps they met during a church social or through mutual friends or simply as neighbors.

	As the family grew, every Saturday, Anna would spend the morning making bread for the upcoming week. She only baked during the week when it was needed. In addition to bread, Anna would make pies and coffee cake topped with a mixture cinnamon and sugar to satisfy her family’s desire for deserts. Most Saturdays, the entire kitchen table was filled with her homemade bread and pies. The family would generally eat more than one pie a day, depending on how many kids still lived at home.
