Lisa Unger Emkovik – daughter of Alice – above – wrote “I need to point out that the other important and influential people in my life are all my aunts and uncles in this photo. My mom and two of her sisters became registered nurses-the other four sisters became teachers. Several of them were lifelong in their professions. Lawrence and Leonard successfully farmed the family farm their entire lives.
Wilton was a farmer and owned the seed and feed store in town.”
