Large Crowd
Gathers for Grauerholz Reunion
The family of the late Mary Grauerholz
Gemaehlich hosted the annual Grauerholz
reunion at the St. John Lutheran Parish
Hall Sunday noon, Sept. 6, 2009. A
potluck dinner was enjoyed by the large
group attending. Tables were also set up
in the hall to accommodate the many
attending. After the delicious meal was
finished, the various families were
introduced. The next Grauerholz reunion
will be held on the Sunday prior to
Labor Day, 2009 at the St. John Lutheran
Parish Hall with the family of the late
Lizzie Goll in charge.
While the adults were busy visiting the
children were enjoying the delightful
day and the outdoor playground equipment
north of the Parish Hall. The kids were
thrilled with the swings and slide, but
the Hainke merry-go-round which was
manufactured in Kensington in the 1940's
was the children's favorite. Adults
could remember when almost every rural
school playground had one of these
merry-go-rounds and also the memory that
children had a tendency to fall off from
it or get sick to their stomachs if they
were pushed too fast. It is reported
that no such incidence happened during
the afternoon.
Attending from from Colorado were
Shirley Grauerholz of Denver, Colo.,
Stephanie Grauerholz, Elijah and Malacki

Margaret Stockton had surgery in Wichita
and then she and Bob spent last week in

have to make the trips to Hays three
times a week. She still goes to Smith
Center for therapy and appreciates all
the rides and prayers.
Earlene Bronson completed her series of
radiation at Hays last week.
Elaine Bretton had foot surgery in
Kearney last week and is finding that
being on crutches can be very confining.
Correction--Josephine Ann, daughter of
Ben and Sheila Nech of Dodge City, was
born at Dodge City and then transferred
to the neo-nursery in Wichita. Sheila
developed complications after the birth
but has now been dismissed from the
hospital in Dodge City and she and Ben

It's been a cool week giving the
air-conditioners a rest. Clouds and haze
have been prevalent most days. Farmers
would like to see more sunshine to help
the ripening process of the fall crops.
Rain is a possibility the middle of week
when another cool front moves into the
area. Gardeners are busy processing or
giving away the surplus vegetables they
are producing. It's been a beautiful
summer.
A truckload of ensilage was going down
Main Street today (Monday). It must be
getting close to fall!!
