Mother and Dad were married on October 9, 1889 and set up housekeeping on the prairie farm 2 miles south of Moulton, Iowa. He was 23 and Mother was 22 years of age. they lived together nearly 57 years. six children were born while living on the farm, they were Vivian, Lloyd, Paul, Glenn, Mae and Harold. After farming several years, my parents moved into Moulton where Harry, Carl and I were born.
Dad got a job as leverman on the Wabash Railroad, he gave 36 years of service and retired at age 69. During the time, he had been transferred once to Moravia, a small town to the north.
Dad and Mother both enjoyed having family reunions which occurred twice a year. They both loved their grandchildren, especially Dad who bought delicacies at the stores like candy, peanut butter and marshmallows for the grandchildren. After they went home, I thought I'd try my luck with him. He took my list and came home empty-handed and said, they were "fresh out!" I knew, I didn't stand a chance with the grandchildren (in the early 20's) Dad and his brothers and sisters attended school at Pulliam. Dad belonged to the Moulton Sincerity Lodge #317 for 50 plus years.
