Many times he was without work when the river was frozen, forcing the mill to shut down. After his marriage to Johanna and the birth of five children, being unable to support his family on his wages, itbacame necessary for Johanna to seek alternate employment for Vincent. She approached Mr. Sensenbrenner of the Kimberly Clark Corporation and obtained a position for Vincent as a painter so that his income would be steady and sufficient to meet his families needs.
