Family Letter notes for Eugene & Kathryn (Kay) Louise (Family)
Eugene and. Kathryn Wegscheid were married on September 20,1938, in St. Lawrence Church, Rush Lake. They have a children (four girls and four boys) 28 grandchildren, 48 great -grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren (as of 2003). They farmed, and raised their family on the Wegscheid home place north of Bluffton.
They worked hard, but also enjoyed visiting with family and friends, playing cards and dancing. Church was an important part of their lives. Sunday was always a special day. We’d come home from church to the smell of roast in the oven. When a. good old time waltz played on the radio, Dad and Mom would dance around the kitchen and we also learned the art of dancing at that time.
The feast of St. Nick was a special time when a bag of candy and nuts was thrown in the front door. But, if the kids weren’t good they got a stick instead of candy When farmin got too hard, Gene and Kay moved to a home on 2nd St. NW in Wadena. Gene passed away quite suddenly at 68 years old on September 7, 1980. Mom lived there until she moved to Humphrey Manor in Wadena and later to Shady Lane. She became ill and passed away at 84 years old. They both made our lives very rich with their love.
