Raymond Roy Yetter

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Note, After 1923. Ray and Ed were shipped to live and work at their Uncle Bill's. Ray and Ed were to assist with caring for Wilbur and help with farm work. They were required to work the full day at farm work, then assist Aunt Mae with washing and cleaning in the evening. They eventually ran away back to their own farm. At some point they moved to Chicago to be with their mother, Dolly.

2. Occupation: Picker on a farm outside Chicago, About 1930, Land where O'hare airport now is. Begged for a picker job from the Harnack. Ray was small, but they took him in and he became a good worker. Ray grew up there and the Harnack's we're considered as parents. In fact, at More. Channel's 80th birthday, Ray addressed her as "Mom".

Raymond had a relationship with Lucille Pauline Niwa, daughter of Frank J. Niwa and Mary Rose Szczesna, on 4/15/1936 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States. (Lucille Pauline Niwa was born on 1/15/1913 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States, died on 10/13/2002 in Pleasant Hill, Contra Costa, California, United States and was buried on 10/19/2002 in Maryhill, Cook, Il.)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

1. Note: before 1936. Lucille attended a party at a friend's house. There she met Ray. Rumor has it that it was love at first sight. He would walk the many miles home after their dates to save money. He always found excuses to visit, even when not invited. Lucille's parent liked Ray and Lu felt a little sorry for him when she saw where he lived.

When they met Lu was seriously considering joining a convent. After months of courtship, she oscillated between marriage and the nunnery. When told, Ray tenderly pronounced he did not want to live without Lu, but that he would walk her to the convent door if need be. Lu asked for a night to think and Ray sat by the telephone the entire night. By morning, they were engaged.

2. Wedding, 4/15/1936. Wedding was held at St. Viator's Church, officiated by Father Wenthe. The reception was held at the Belmont Hotel. Honeymoon was at Mammouth Cave in Kentucky
