Wilson Book - Irene Carrington's Children, Cont.

Aunt Beulah with her children.
Aunt Beulah comes next in Bonnie Cavenee Runge's manuscript, written in 1977.

Children of Irene Carrington Daugherty - Aunt Beulah comes next. My computer is temporarily sitting on my living room table, so not sure of date, but this special aunt is no longer with us. What a creative, warm, intelligent woman! We all learned so much from her.

"Beulah Maxine was born September 4, 1925 in rural Hand County schools and Wessington Grade School and High School, graduated from Bonilla High School in 1943 and Sprague Hospital School of Nursing in 1947. She worked in Burke, South Dakota until March, 1948 at which time she was united in marriage to Alton Goehring of Delmont since then. She is active in their church work of the United Church of Christ, belonged to an Extension Club for 10 years, and also involved in civic activities. She is serving on the Park Committee at present time. Her favorite hobby is sewing --she sews for friends, makes dresses for special occasions such as graduation and weddings. Ceramics and wood working fills in any spare time that being a farmer's wife leaves. To Alton and Beulah were born 3 children;
Douglas born on December 14, 1948. He graduated from Delmont High School in 1967 and attended school at USD Springfield, and entered the U.S. Army in 1969.

Next are "recollections of Beulah Daugherty Goehring of her parents and her childhood." I'm not sure if I've included this already in the blog or newsletter, if not, I'll save it for another time.
