JOHN EHRICHS, JR.
John Ehrichs was born August 18, 1877, in Clinton County, Iowa, to John Ehrichs Sr. and Anna (Jurgensen) Ehrichs. He moved with his parents to Deloit and later they moved to a farm northwest of Aspinwall.

Bertha Schroeder was born February 7, 1886, in Crawford County to Henry and Wiebke (Oltman) Schroeder of Manning.

John and Bertha were married February 21, 1906. They had three children, J.H. Herbert in 1907, Malinda in 1910, and Alice in 1914. They started their married life on the farm. Later he built a new home at the east edge of Aspinwall and the family moved there in 1915. John was a carpenter and a painter. He did carpentry with Chris Hollander and they built some of the barns near Aspinwall. John was the fire chief in Aspinwall in charge of the hose cart; during that time a new building was built to house the fire cart and supplies.

Herbert was afflicted with asthma and Alice was sickly also, so in 1923 the family moved to a different climate for asthma. They first moved to Bloomfield, Nebraska, and in 1924 to Norfolk, Nebraska.

Herbert married Ethel Sontag from Washington, and they had four daughters. Alice was married to George Thomas in 1956 and they have a daughter Judy. Malinda was married to Guy Anderson January 2, 1931. They celebrated their golden wedding January 4, 1981. They had two daughters and a son, 15 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

John Ehrichs died in 1949 while on a visit to Aspinwall, Iowa. Bertha died in 1968, and Herbert in 1975. Guy Anderson passed away December 28, 1981.
