Name/Location of Company Worked
Farms - "Atherton Bottoms" MO operated by the Van Tuyl, Curtis, Mueller families and others as needed
Dates of Work
1943-1945
Type of Work
Worked as a teenager in the fields harvesting potatoes, along with two sisters, Marian and Anna. Worked alongside prisoners of war who were held in camps in the area. Accounts of this can be found in the book, The Enemy Among Us: POWs in Missouri During WWII, by David Fiedler. The straw hat worn while working in the fields, with some of the ties used to close gunny sacks still hanging from the brim where I kept them handy, is now on display at the Lee's Summitt (MO) Community Center, where I have given talks about my experiences.
