  Notes	"Gertrude Herr also had fond memories of Mary Schifferly Herr: 'A wonderful woman. All the boys except Walter and Charles left home before they were 21. Their Mother said they would each have a horse and buggy if they remained at home until they were 21. Walter took the equivalent of the horse and buggy -- $100.00 -- and went on to Bible School. Several of the older boys went on to Normal School at Ohio Northern University, and then taught school. One of the boys, Albert, went to medical school after an apprenticeship with a local doctor. The other boys all did well, mostly farming, and they were all good workers.'"
