In 1935 he moved with his family to Copeland after selling the ranch to the federal government for an ammunitions depot.

In 1937 the Huffs purchased the Elmer Osbourne homestead at the foot of Hall Mountain where he engaged in farming and dairying until his retirement in 1965.

From Margie Yongue:

Notes on Charles Huff:

More on gun accident: ON June 24, 2001, I asked Chuck Huff his his dad lost his arm. He told us that his dad (Charles Huff) was adjusting the spotting light with his right hand while riding on the running board of the vehicle and also hanging onto the gun with his left. He was left handed. I don't remember if he said that they hit a bump or not but he accidentally dropped the gun and when it hit, it went off and shot through his right arm. That was in October and Beverly had told me earlier that it was 1926.
