Notes |
- "Served for 6 years, Board of Education, Beaverdam School District; served Richland Township Farmers Mutual Fire and Windstorm Association as Member of Board of Directors for 18 years; [served on] Democrat Central Committee in Richland Township for some years. We was always much interested in our Sunday School and Church Activities; served on Official Board of our Church, as Deacon some years, and as Elder [for] many years.
No matter what our vocation or work is, there is always a "stop sign" or a warning sign ahead of all of us. So after 44 years of working together our lot came to the last line mentioned, account of health problems was compelled to relinquish many of our activities in our every day life."
