Just an ordinary couple - a farmer and a teacher - whose lives spanned a century of the greatest changes this world has ever known. They suffered through the Spanish Flu of 1918 (an earlier pandemic), two world wars, and the great depression - like so many others.

They looked at life through two different religious perspectives which caused much heartache and misunderstanding - like so many others.

They raised a family of three boys after suffering the loss of a nine-pound baby girl at birth - joys and sorrows - like so many others.

Through it all, they lived with honesty, integrity and perseverance - like so many others.

They were mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, just an ordinary couple like so many others, but they left a good heritage and this is their story.
