We have researched all the 1923 graduates for their life stories. Here’s some of our findings: Melvin Ahrens founded Flowerwood Garden Shop in Crystal Lake in 1948. Eugene Borchart married his classmate Hulda Moldenhauser. Glen Ehlert served in US army during WW2 (8/23/1943-6/17/1946). Paul Griffith became a Doctor and served in the US Army Medical Corps during WW2 (11/24/1941-2/2/1946) was awarded the Bronze star for actions in North Africa.

📖 Please stop in on a Wednesday afternoon and read more about their life at the Dundee Township Historical Society Library from 2 to 4 pm.

If you have any more information on these people, let us know! We would like to add that to their life story.
