    Notes:

    Sharon Nemeth emailed that "the marriage date for Agnes Matejovsky & Bert Redmond was 27 Apr 1920. They were going to live in Fairfax, SD, where Agnes was teaching and Vincent Janda was superintendent of schools at the time. Redmond was a local Fairfax boy, owner of the meat market and "Velda Theatre." Sharon further speculated that reason an article about her marriage was not published until the June issue of the Milligan newspaper issues is that Agnes probably in town for Vincent Janda's wedding. The article about Agnes stated that she would be visiting her sister Mrs. Posvar for two weeks.

    It is not so important in life as to the nature of work in which we are engaged. The important thing is that we be engaged int eh first place and that we do what we are engaged in with some degree of efficiency. That is waht this boy did and that is what won for him the commendation and the love of his fellows.
