On June 9, 1909, George Frederick Gillig and Mollie Molz were married and
  established their home on the farm 3 1/2 miles southwest of Kiowa. This
  continued to be their home until their retirement in 1946, when they moved
  to their home in Kiowa, Kansas. They lived there until their respective
  deaths.
     Ten children came to grace the home of Fred and Millie: Esther, Albert,
  Dorothy, Howard, Ethel, Velma, Mildred, Kenneth, Samuel, and Marjorie.
  Mildred and Samuel died in infancy.
     Mr. Gallig (Fred) took an active part in organizing the O.K. Grain
  Company in Kiowa and was elected as a director in 1922. In 1928 he was
  made president of the board and served faithfully in that capacity for
  twenty years, holding the position at the time of his death. He took an
  active part in the organization of the hospital association of Hardtner,
  kansas, and served as a director of the organization. He was instrumental
  in getting the REA established in the vicinity southwest of Kiowa.
     Mr. Gillig was a hard working farmer. In later years he became interested
  in Aberdeen Angus cattle. He stimulated that interest in his sons who became
  cattlemen, raising the Aberdeen Angus cattle.
     The Gillig children attended the Mulberry Center Grade School and the
  Kiowa Grade School. They all graduated from the Kiowa High School. Ethel 
  and Marjorie continued their education and graduated from Southwestern 
  College, Winfield, Kansas. Ethel received a Masters in Religious Education
  at the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California, and is a Diaconal
  Minister and serving as Director of Christian Education in Wichita, Kansas.
  Marjorie is a public school teacher in Pratt, Kansas, where she has taught
  since 1954. She earned a Masters in Education from the University of Missouri
  State College in Springfield, Missouri, for several summers.
     Esther married Monroe Cornwell. She has four sons and now lives on a farm
  in Arkansas. Velma attended Beech's Beauty School in Enid, Oklahoma, and
  operated a Beauty Shoppe before marrying Clyde Moore. She now resides on a
  farm in Missouri. Albert married Arlena Vannaman and took up farming in 
  Greenwood County, Kansas, later returning to the Kiowa area. He devoted his
  life to farming and had a great love for raising Angus Cattle, which he
  handed down to his son, Bertie Lee. He died in 1972.
     Howard served his country during World War II. When he returned, he
  married Rose Mary Newton, and took over the management of the "home place"
  when the parents retired. Howard and his wife continue to live there,
  farming and raising Angus cattle. They have two daughters.
     Kenneth served his country in 1951-53. When he returned he married Joretta
  Thomas, started farming, and later they moved to Missouri where he raises
  Angus cattle. They have two children.
     The heritage is rich in memories of the household of Fred and Mollie Gillig.
