"Just before my mom and dad were married (1939) Mom found out she had tuberculosis, and had to go to a sanitarium (which may have been in Dubuque, Iowa). She told my dad he didn't have to marry her, but he did anyway."

"When farming with her husband she especially enjoyed cooking, sewing, tending her large garden (fresh vegetable soup cooked over an open fire was great!) and tending her chickens. In the late 1950s worked as the salad girl at the Red Cedar Lounge in Freeport. Then went to work at Micro Switch, Freeport, until her retirement. Loved fishing and traveling."

NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS FROM MOM'S SCRAPBOOK
from the Journal Standard, March 23, 1939: "This afternoon at 1 o'clock, at the Second Presbyterian manse, Miss Catherine Dinley was united in marriage to Richard TerHark. Rev. Brainerd N. Covert was the officiating clergyman.

"The bride wore an ensemble of Mignon blue crepe, with corsage of spring flowers. The bride's father, Thomas Dinley, and Miss Jennie TerHark, sister of the groom, were the attendants.

"Richard TerHark is employed by Mr. and Mrs. Willard B. Hance on their farm "Green Gables" and he and his bride will live on the farm.
"A dinner for relatives of the two families will be served at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry TerHark this evening."

(My note: I remember mom saying that the Hance's said when they got married they weren't to have children while working there ... so they didn't have me till 1941. ... this farm was behind where "Culvers" is in Freeport now, June 2000.)
