"Dreams Dawn in Africa" -
The LWML (Lutheran Women's Missionary League) published a book a few months ago entitled "Dreams Dawn in Africa". It contains the writings of women missionaries who served in the Lutheran Church in Nigeria over the years. Authors include Katie Lautenschlager Fine, Bobbie Lautenschlager, Mary Ottemoeller, Betty Rasch, Wilma Rupprecht, Ruby Bruns, Bernice Bunkowske, Cheri Talsma, Elizabeth Goodine, Peggy Fajen, Ethel Giziewski, Ruth Boettcher, Louise Mueller, Carol Buckman, Helen Konz, Gertrude Bluemel. The book was interesting to me primarily because I happen to know about 95% of the authors. If anyone knows some of the authors and might be interested in reading the book, you can buy it for $6.00 by calling 1-800-252-5965. The order number is 23050. (Submitted by Barb Olson)

Built in 1904 by Della Eichholtz
Noted on a sign on the house from a photo during the Centennial with Hans standing in front.

Blunt Centennial 1984 Book

October 31, 1939
Hans put their furniture in the (abandoned) Presbyterian Church parsonage (the house provided by a church for its pastor), where the Kip Ogans live now. At the time the church was still located south (attached said Anna Frye) of the house.

We worked on the house for 5 1/2 years to make it liveable, then decided to sell it. Guy Carey wanted it and since he was a member of the church, he got it.

With Ray Pool's help, we got the place we live in now, for back taxes, getting the deed from Seward Leeper. The place was a mess, windows out, lights torn out of the ceiling, etc.

It took three stoves to keep it warm the first winter. We tore off two porches and the room on the north. we rebuilt the north room. Hans did all the work after work and the boys could help after school.

We continued to work on our place, put on new siding and shingles, and cut down nine big cottonwood trees.

It doesn't say but I think Grandma Esther wrote this.?
