By 1920, the family had returned to Rensselaerville, where they were living on Crystal Lake Road. Living next door were Omer Delos Barkman and Elise Barkman, a widow who was the wife of Richard Barkman.[4] In about 1925, Adelbert's youngest son Wallace A. Barkman had married a woman named Violet. In the 1930 Census, Adelbert was still living in Rensselaerville with his wife and eldest son Channing Barkman.[8] His married son Wallace was living next door.
