She went to grade school and high school in Shedd. After graduation she attended Normal School in Monmouth, Oregon and graduated as a school teacher. Janet was teaching in Shaniko when she met Ed Herrling, who had a homestead nearby on Criterion. They were married in Bend, Oregon, on May 22, 1931, after school was out for the summer.
