Produktbeschreibung

On this wintry December night in 1893, Millie had lots of time to think while waiting for his wife, Mina, to give birth. He was reminiscing how he and his family came from Canada to Michigan, as a young lad to settle on a farm west of Elsie.

He thoroughly enjoyed being a farmer and wanted a son to share his passion. Oh, he knew Mina and his daughter, Blanche, wanted a girl. Yet a boy could carry on the Setterington name, help on the farm and complete him as a man.

When he heard, "It's a boy!" Millie heaved a heavy sigh. He couldn't wait to hold his newborn son. He would name him Ralph, but call him Rate to honor his father Horatio. Now he could look forward to a full life as a man and father. He was filled with anticipation on this new chapter in his life.

After graduating from Elsie High School, she attended Business School in Lansing, for secretarial training. When her job got eliminated after WWII ended, she headed to Michigan State College. There she met her husband to be Roman Stankey. Once married, they moved to Roman's family farm outside of Wayland, Michigan. There she birthed eight children. Her passion for reading and writing took her back to school at Western Michigan University, where she minored in English. Her professors encouraged her to write. The love she had for her family history prompted her to write the stories she heard many times as a child and adult. This way she would preserve the Setterington family history for her children and future generations.
