Mother's brothers - Elmer - teacher, then insurance salesman, moved to Minneapolis, with his wife adopted two boys. 

Ted - stayed on the farm the longest, then worked as a janitor in Eureka, was quite friendly,. We visited him most often. He liked to play catch with us kids... 

Walter - He served in the army in Japan, said that he was part of the occupation force and that American committed lots of atrocities. I learned most from him when I took Mother to visit him in his old age in a VA nursing home in Sturgis, SD. In his younger years he lived in Renton, Washington, and worked at Boeing until retiring. He and his wife adopted two boys and were much later divorced. He was very full of stories. 

Clarence also joined the military. I believe he was in between wars, during peace time. He also moved to Washington and worked with Boeing, lived in Kent. He and his wife had three children. He remained a good Lutheran all his life. 

Charles lived in Deadwood, South Dakota, served in the Army in Korea, was a heavy smoker. He and his wife had five children - four boys and one girl. I believe he worked in a gold mine. Later he owned a gas station, which his sons had taken over when I made a later visit. They still sold gas, but also sold lots of beer. Boxes of beer were stacked high when we visited. Motorcycle riders were everywhere. 

Doris married Cecil Van Ness and moved to Iowa, had four or five children. We knew them least, saw them at some family reunions on the farm but never drove down to visit them.

Marilyn was pregnant before got married to Lester Dais, a Seventh Day Adventist. She lived on a farm near Greenway, right on the border with South Dakota. She had five children, all boys... spent much of her life in the Jamestown Mental Institution, had tried to kill herself at some point. I liked visiting their farm... They had a pond with a raft and at least one very big and productive choke cherry tree. I remember taking our kids there and seeing her one last time... She could barely talk, "Look... what... happened... to... me..." were the last unhappy words I remember her saying privately to me before we entered the Eureka cafe to join our families. She died not long after that visit.

As for Pauline and Rheinhart. Pauline was a Pfeifer who married Rheinhart Bauer. Bald headedness in our family came from that branch of our family tree. We visited some Pfeiffer's, now and then, in Venturia. One of mother's uncles was a television repairman. I remember being in his shop and him offering to sell my father a television he had repaired. My father was very much against TVs at that point in time... so, no deal was made.
