-- William N. Ergenbright - - submitted by Opal Gorr -

My father, William N. Ergenbright moved with his parents from Pella, Iowa to a farm north of Barney in 1871. After a year or so, there being no school closer than St. Charles, his father gave an acre of land and helped build a log schoolhouse where my dad got his education. Later he helped build the railroad through Lorimor. My mother was working for a family by the name of Abe Dudney, earning $.50 a week. They boarded some of the railroad men. That was where my dad and mother first met. This was about 1875 or Œ76 and they were married in 1877.

They and some of the other young people rode on the first train that went over the railroad. They always lived on a farm until about 1910. Dad bought the cafe in Lorimor and later a grocery store on the north side of Lorimor main street....Uncle John Ergenbright had a livery barn in Lorimor about 1896 or 1897. It was located where the Roseman¹s and now the Eginoire Feed Store now is...<
