In the early years of their marriage, Lemuel was a farmer in Pryor, Oklahoma. They had horses, cattle, pigs, chickens and various crops. Lemuel and son, Clyde, would haul produce from the farm to neighboring areas to be sold. He also did business relative to land conservation and management. About 1924, they moved to Greenfield, Missouri, where they lived 11 years. A few years after returning to the Oklahoma farm, Lemuel contracted pneumonia, from which he died at age 62.
Mable and Clyde continued to operate the farm until 1946, when they moved to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. In 1959, it was learned that Mable had cancer. She had breast surgery in 1959 in St. Louis.

"Count that day lost, whose low descending sun, finds at thy hand no worthy action done." This was the lifelong motto of a man who lived each day to the fullest. Addison touched the lives of many people in the City and County of Maion, especially the children. In fact, he was known as the "Children's Friend." He had a collection of talking dolls, with which he'd entertain children at the local elementary schools and in the hospitals. For several years, he was a special Santa Claus at Uhler's and Frank Bros. Co. Stores. Addison organized a number of different clubs for children, such as a bird house building club and a casting club.
Addison was President of the Toledo Newsboys Association, 1915-1921. Returning to Marion, he served as Superintendent of the Marion County Detention Home for 27 years. His wife was the matron during those years.
He loved to hunt and fish, and wrote articles about outdoor life for "Field and Stream" and "Popular Mechanics." He invented and patented a unique fishhook in 1941. He took out his last hunting license at age 90.
Among other achievements was the major restoration of the old Quarry Street Cemetery in Marion, the oldest in the City and one of the oldest in Ohio. He also landscaped and developed three of Marion's parks: Garfield, Lincoln and McKinley.
Addison's Obituary was printed in the "Marion Star" newspaper on 3 April 1952, pages 1 and 14.
