On vacation from St. Paul in Osceola on Sunday, July 13, 1941, Dale wrote, “Had a family dinner at the folks for Don and Ethel. Fine cool day. Perfect. We drove out to Gerald’s after a chicken. Stayed all night at Louie’s.”
The ‘folks’ were Jettie and Williams Gardner, Dale’s parents, who lived on a farm near Osceola. Don Matheny was a son of Fred Matheny and Elsie Gardner, an aunt of Dale’s, and Ethel was his wife. Gerald Schaffer and Louie Schaffer were two of Helen’s brothers; both also lived on farms.
