Notes:

According to her daughter Maybelle, she was the daughter of Louis J. SCHERE and Josephine BOULIER. Louis was German, and Josephine French, being a descendant of Rene "Henry" Boulier of Department of La Muehrt a' Musson, France. Henry immigrated at the age of 23 to Woodford county, Illinois in 1837. He lived there until his death in 1871.

Louis and Josephine Schere had eight children but lost one at a very young age. Their sons wedre Louie, Frederick and Gilbert. The girls were Florence, Mildred, Marie and Pauline---and Catherine who died young. Louis ran a general store in Cedar Bluff, Nebraska. She learned to cook and farm after her marriage. The well was a block away from their farm home and had to be hauled by bucket to the house. There was no electricity so they had kerosene lamps and a stove. The family farm was 12 miles from Lawton, 8 miles from Walters, and 5 miles from Geronimo.In 1919, the family moved back to Nebraska to help care for Mildred'a ailing mother where they lived for several years. Mildred lost one eye after catching pneumonia.
