He was married to Magdalena Betsch, and together they had six children, Violet, Bernard, Irene, Anna, Adam and Edward Jr. They operated a farm in Cusator Township, Stutsman County, North Dakota, located fourteen miles southeast of the town of Cleveland. Besides farming, Mr. Staib devoted his spare time training his horses, Silver, Buck and Sam to do tricks and play games with his family.
