Historial Documents



Documents of when I was 8 years old. According to the document I was 4 feet 5 inches tall weighed 70 pounds I had brown eyes and brown hair It also says my gender was male. Dated May 7, 1942. Ration books were issued for each member of the family and I have all the ration book covers for each one. Some of them even have some ration stamps in them. Dale, do you want some of them? I thought is was interesting that Dale chose a picture of me at 8 years old.

There are a lot of younger pictures of me floating around. But this one is the oldest picture of me before I lost my front tooth. And I lost it on March 9, 1943. I was standing up in a wagon and your mother was pulling the wagon when the side walk came up and busted it out. It was one month after my 9th birthday That is how I remember the date. I can tell you a lot of other things that happened on that day, but it would be tmi.
I have no idea who the couple is. But it does look a lot like Ernest Roesti and his wife. He was the pastor at the church for many years. Could be a relative too.
