On August 4, 1919, Henry and Amy Wolf had their 4th child. A girl they named Anna Mae. This was not really a convenient time as harvest was in full swing. Put 9 months earlier, I'm sure this was not given a thought. Anyway, Ira Horack was at the Wolf's threshing their wheat. Henry remarked to him that he had a new little girl that day. Ira said how nice that was and that he had a son that was 2 years old and maybe they should get them together some day. Skip ahead some years. Anna Mae's sister Harriet and her husband Delbert were living in the Miller house at what is now the NW corner of 50th and Webb. (Such fancy names now when back then it was the Miller house on the corner across from Finks west.) Henry, Jr, Anna Mae's younger brother "happened to know Ernest" and came to Harriets to get Anna Mae to introduce her to Ernest. The girls had been horseback riding and didn't particularly smell or look too good. But they relented. When they showed up at Horack's (which was on the SE corner of the intersection), they got Ernest up from a nap. It was Sunday afternoon, for Pete's sake. But they met and from their it began.(To be continued.)
