"and Lydia Mastin. His parents moved to Iowa when he was an infant. He married Lillian J. Bosma, daughter of Thomas, Sr. and Florence Bosma, on February 26, 1934 at the Congregational Church parsonage. They were the first couple wed by the late Rev. N. Boomgarden.

Their first farm home was one mile west and one-half mile north of Buffalo Center for nine years. This was still the Depression Era so they had no electricity or running water. Mom helped Dad pick corn by hand all day - one load in theforenoon and one load in the afternoon. Dad was the owner of the first combine in the Buffalo Center area. It was a 1936 John Deere No. 6. He tells of how the area people thought he had bought a machine that could never do the job -but look at the combines today! Their daughters, Dorothy and Delores, were born during the years on this place.

In March 1943 we moved to our new home one mile east and three and one-half miles south of Buffalo Center. Electricity was put in, a new well dug - and we had indoor plumbing. Dad did so much custom work - combining oats, cornpicking,chopping hay and straw, spraying and silo filling - that there were times our neighbors saw more of him during the week than we did.

We were joined by sister Ramona, so Mom and Dad had three girls. Dad had Grade A dairy cows - so we girls learned how to put milkers together, operte the cream separator, etc., as well as feed each cow a balanced diet. Pitching hay,straw, and silage were part of daily chores. Dad hauled many thousands of gallons of Grade A milk into Buffalo Center Co-op Creamery with our Jeep pickup. Dad has often said he had to have one cow just to provide milk for many cats andkittens we girls had for pets. And there was old Shep, our dog; he was always there to go with us to fetch the cows home from the pasture.

Mom baked more bread and rolls and made so many meals for hired help than we can imagine today. Hundreds of jars of canned goods filled our basement shelves. I wonder how many gallons of "egg coffee" Mom has made for activities at theFirst Congregational Church throughout the years.

A nagging back problem finally forced Dad to give up dairying - and finally farming altogether. Mom and Dad moved into town in 1966 where they presently live after 32 years of rural life. Dad continued mechanic work for implementdealers at Britt and Thompson, then Hogar & Son Welding - but his back finally forced him into retirement."

[Pg. 352, Col. 2
