| Memo (fam) | Memo: [From the Ocheyedan, IA Centennial, 1891-1991] Arthur Glade was born in Horton Township on November 7, 1888, the last of thirteen children born to Frederick and Dorothea Glade. Rose Osterman was born on August 26, 1895, near Struble in Sioux County, Iowa, to George and Sophia Osterman. She was the first of their thirteen children. In 1911, she moved with her family to Ocheyedan, where they settled in Horton Township. Here she and Arthur met, both being members of Zion Lutheran Church. They were married there on September 20, 1916. Their marriage was blessed with nine children: three sons and six daughters. All of them were born on the original Glade homestead one mile north of Zion church, where they farmed. The winter after their fifth child was born, they were quarantined with scarlet fever for many weeks. All of their groceries and other necessities had to be brought to them by someone else, since no one was allowed to leave thir place. Whenever the childhood diseases came around, it was usually a long siege; because if one of them got it, they all got it. The year the mumps went around, the first one got them a week before Thanksgiving, so the holidays came and went with someone sick with the mumps. No one in Arthur's family could remember if he had had them, so they assumed he had. But, sure enough, it was well into March when he came down with them too. As the family was growing up, a Model T Ford became the family car. On Sunday morning eleven people, parents and children ranging in age from teenagers to an infant, piled into the Model T to drive the mile to church. Very often the roads were muddy and rutted. In the winter when deep snow covered the roads, the mile trek was made with horses and a bobsled. Sometimes fences were temporarily taken down to map a route through fields where the snow was less deep than on the roads. One of the residents of the farm for many years was a big, white, mean rooster. Why he didn't find his way to the soup kettle long before he did was always a mystery, since during his lifetime he attacked more than one member of the family. For many years Rose raised geese - over 100 of them every year. In the spring before the goslings had their feathers, everyone made a mad dash to get them in whenever it rained, as they would die if thy got wet. In the fall when they were ready for market, several aunts came to help pluck them, and the old summer kitchen was literally knee-deep in feathers for a day or two. Those feathers ended up in feather beds and many pillows. Lillian, the eldest, was the first to leave the nest when she married Hans Osterman in the summer of 1936. Marjorie followed about three years later when she became the wife of Wendell Butcher, who at that time was a professional athlete with the team then known as the Brooklyn Dodgers. They subsequently had two sons. During World War II they moved to California, where Wendell worked in a defense plant. Kenneth was employed by a farmer when he met Alice Fisher from Milbank, SD. After their marriage, Kenneth spent 38 months in the Army Air Corps, where he was trained as a crew chief on B-26 bombers. They became the parents of a son and a daughter. Kathleen married Dr. Gary Gonnerman, a chiropractor. He set up his practice in Ocheyedan for a few years, then moved to Humboldt, Iowa. Steve married Marilyn Sinner. They have two sons. Steve is branch manager of Northwest Iowa Co-op Elevator in Allendorf, IA After attending the University of Iowa for some time, Duane also enlisted in the Army Air Corps. He became a pilot on a B-25 bomber. After World War II he met and married Jewell Hays, a widow with a small daughter. They became the parents of one son. Marie also moved to California during World War II. There she met and married Lee Pruett, and they have three daughters. La Vonne married Lyle Dirks, who was also in the Army Air Corps as a B-17 pilot. They are the parents of three sons and four daughters. Naomi and Mavis followed their sisters to California. There Naomi married Bob Hill. They had two sons and a daughter. Mavis married Bill Miller, and they had two daughters. Loren married Mary Paulsen. He then spent time in the army of occupation in Germany after World War II. After he was discharged, eh got a degree in forestry at the University of Montana. He has spent most of his life since in Montana. He and Mary had one daughter. In the spring of 1940, the family moved from the farm into Ocheyedan. Arthur spent the rest of his working years as a carpenter. Rose was a cook for several years at the Walther League Camp on West Lake Okoboji. After that she was a familiar face on Main Street for many years. There she worked for "Butch" Falk in his meat market and later managed a doughnut shop. After 59 years of marriage, Arthur passed away in September 1975. Rose had been a widow for nearly ten years when she died in June 1985. They were grandparents of 22 and great grandparents of 24 children. The family also has been diminished by the deaths of Lillian Osterman, Alice Glade and Wendell Butcher.8 |
