Family History:  They were both born and raised in Roseau.  After marriage, they lived in Milwaukee where Arlyn 
worked at the Kohering Co.  He then served in Europe during WW II.  After his return, they bought the farm east of 
Roseau which is still in the family.   They raised four children there.   After retirement, they spent their winters in 
South Texas for the first 15 years.  They each celebrated their 80th Birthdays with a big family 'bash' and in 2002 
celebrated 60 years of marriage at an intimate gathering at the local Church.  Arlyn passed away peacefully at age 84 
on February 10, 2005 just after their 63rd anniversary.  Thelma stayed on the farm for a while before relocating to an 
extremely active residence where she knows everyone.
