Norma's account of her father's death.
Dad was an inactive Baptist. A lot of religiouns ranin his families,so I'm guessing at his religion.
Since I was an active Mormon, Dad supported me in all of my church activities. I was the only active one in the family. I was the one who always said the blessing on the food ...

Norma's account of her father's death.
He was a short man, his spine was curved a little because of arthritis, and this disease stiffened his neck. He couldn't turn his head side to side like most of us can. He would habve to turn his whole bodfy. he sure was a good car driver. He drove betterthan some people. He was more cautious, but not overly. He couldn't play with us children like other dads could. It took me some time to understand this. I loved to comb his grey hair and massage his head. He was a little bald, thin haired.

from Norma Strang Larsen.
Dad (Norma’s dad?) was a county agricultural agent in Saginaw, Mi. George and Electa Strang mortgaged their farm to help Dad get started in his seed business in Millard county, I think in Delta or Oasis. Dad's brothers thought that their parents were favoring their oldest son, maybe they were.

from Thelma.
I remember so well–when he visited us in his army uniform as he was ready to leave for the service. I do not remember where or how he served.
Then he taught in the Quincy High school for how long, I do not remember.
When he went West to Utah, he thought he was going to the end of the world. He and some other men, bought a ranch and took care of if and that is when he met your mother.
One Christmas vacation time he took me to a dance in Quincy, boy was I ever thrilled. As I look back now, there was a reason why he took me but I do not know the exact reason except I think–his girl friend was there or had accepted another date or something and I was visiting in the family home, so he took me just to show someone he could attend the dance.. As I recall he did not dance with me which at the time did not bother me, I was so thrilled just to go to a big dance. I remember sitting in the balcony and watching everyone dance. Your father was THE FAVORITE to me of all his brothers. Your Dad was 9 years older than I was. We had lots of fun together.

Mr. W.M. Cook Director of Extension Tuscon, Arizona
Dear Mr. Cook:
I should like very much to locate in your state and am interested in any form of extension work, especially Boys and Girls Clubs or County Agricultural Agent work.
I am a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural College Class of 1918, having completed a four years course in the Agricultural Division, specializing in Farm Crops and Animal Husbandry.
The year following graduation I served as Lieutenant in the United States Field Artillery. The second year I taught science in the Quincy High School.
For the past two years I have been County Club Agent in Saginaw County, Michigan; during which time I organized and directed the work of one-hundred sixty-eight clubs with an enrollment of over eighteen hundred members.
In regard to my past work I take pleasure in referring you to the State Club Leader, Mr. R.A. Turner and the Director of Extension, Mr. R.J. Baldwin, both of East Lansing, Michigan. If you are interested I shall be glad to furnish you with other references and further information concerning my work.
Very sincerely,
