Mary Jane Ogden Kloepfer's memory of Grandpa Ogden:

Grandpa Walter Ogden gave his daughter, Mary Jane, 3 sheep when she was baptized. These sheep had triplets. WhenMary Jane needed some money she would ask Grandpa to sell one of the sheep. He would then send her $50.00. She wasn’t sure he was actually selling the sheep, but the money always came. Grandpa was very generous. When she got married he gave her a cow. The money from “selling” the sheep was especially helpful after Mary Jane and Eldon Kloepfer married. Eldon was in the Navy and was stationed in Detroit, Chicago and other places around the country. Whenever he got stationed in a new location, Mary Jane would ask her dad to sell one of the sheep so she could go find an apartment and be near Eldon. Imagine...Mary Jane was just 20 years old when she was traveling like this!
