1977 Schurter siblings

Front from left: John, Henry, Jesse, Dan

Back from left: Christine, Bernice, Louise, Ruth

John, Bernice, Louise all lived in Oregon through much of my younger years. Ruth lived in Congerville, IL while Christine, Henry, Jesse and Dan stayed in Tremont. Dan lived a short distance from the John and Rose Schurter farm, southeast of Dillion, IL.

Don't know what happened but Helen (Mom) took over writing and entries are inconsistent.
