Roland "Rollie" Gramling ¹

  General Notes:

Rollie and Merle were very religious people. Merle was an ex-school teacher.

Rollie and Carl were very close. Rollie was a farmer with a dairy herd. One of the bulls got him and he lost the use of his right arm during the late 1940's. Losing use of his arm did slow him down a little, but, he always drove a horse and buggy to church and into town - - even after the automobile became commonly owned and even after his family owned one. In fact, their first car was a 1934 Ford V-8 and L.D. taught Rollie's son, Ross, how to drive.

Rollie, being the oldest, took care of his mom after his father had passed away. ¹

Roland married Merle. (Merle died in 1978.)
