These are my Great Grandparents. Their daughter Grace, was my Mother's Mom. I never metWilliam but Great Grandma Della was an important part of my childhood, and if anyone has read my Oregon Trail Novel, you now one of my main characters os named Della in her honor. She Gave birth to at least 7 children that I know of, One boy died as a toddler, 3 boys and 3 girls survived into adulthood, or at least to a month shy of her 20th birthday in the case of Alice.
William and Della were hog and dairy farmers in Ogle County, Illinois and raise their family successfully right on through the depression.
