Grandchildren: 25

I never knew her, but she was my great grandmother. My great Uncle Claudie Randall, told of their move from Missouri in a covered wagon, to north of Gretna, KS, where her and her family farmed, for 2 generations, until est. 1985, with Belgium horses, never farming with tractors. They once lived in a yellow rock home in Agra, KS, that they deeded over to their son Irwin and his wife Freida where they raised their family, until 1965. Their daughter purchased the 3 generation family home in 1976, and it is located on the very south side of Agra, still standing, to this day 2011.

Etta was a very strong Kansas prarie woman, who ruled the family, until her death in a house fire, while cooking on an old wood stove, catching her apron on fire, as she used it for a pot holder.
