It was our great sorrow when we sacrificed our Ted in World War II, but we are happy to have Lois and Patricia, who is Ted’s daughter and her husband Dean Meacham, Terry and Jolane, who are Lois and Everett Anderson’s children.
Ted was in France when he lost his life on December 9, 1944. He was buried there until December 8, 1948, when we placed him in our family plot in Richfield.
Our oldest son Walter Ross was also in the service (Navy) in World War II, spending a period of time in the South Pacific on board The Lanier.He is a medical doctor and worked in that capacity. We rejoiced that he was returned to us after peace was restored.
Larry served four years in the Airforce, most of the time in the medical Corp. at the strategic base in Omaha, Nebraska.Their two children were born there.
Dale was one chosen to remain on the home front to grow the food for the world. He and father labored long and hard during that period of the war when there were few men to be hired for help.
