Glen LeRoy Hogard, yountest son of C.D. Hogard and Blanche V. (Lilly)
     Hogard, was born January 22, 1917, near Coats, Kansas. He has a sister,
     Verle (Walter) Von Schriltz of Freemont, Nebraska, and a brother, Ray,
     of Coats. He attended school in Coats.
       I was born September 30, 1919, just northwest of Sun City on my grand
     dad and grandmother's, W.C. and Sarah Moad, farm. My parents were Montie
     Homer nad Minnie Mae (Moad) Ward. I attended the Sun City schools, 
     graduating from hgih school in 1937. That same year, I was crowned the 
     Barber County Beauty Queen at Hardtner. After graduation I helped my
     parents in the grocery store.
       Glen and I were married in Anthony, Kansas, October 14, 1940, and lived
     on the Hogard Ranch eight miles west of Coats until he went to WWII in
     October, 1942. He took his basic training at Cheyenne, Wyoming, attended
     motor school at Omaha, Nebraska, and was stationed at Camp Shenango, Penn.
     I lived near the camps and worked until he was sent overseas. He was
     attached to the 17th Cml. Maintenance Company and saw service in France
     and Germany, receiving several decorations and citations, namely WWII
     Victory Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal, American Theater Ribbon, EAME Theater
     Ribbon, and the Bronze Star.
       After Glen's discharge in January, 1946, we made Sun City our home. In
     February Glen went to work for National Gypsum Company at the mine where
     he was employed until his death March 9, 1973. He also farmed and had a
     small cow herd.
       Glen served on the city council and townshp board several years. We were
     both members of the PTA. I served in each of the offices. I was a Sagebrush
     4-H community leader, city treasurer, and have been a member of the Sun City
     EHU for 32 years, having served in all offices.
       Our daughter, Helen Ann (Annie), was born February 26, 1947. She attended
     Sun City schools graduating from high school in 1965. She married Gary Kent
     Ewing of Hardtner September 10, 1969. They live on the Hogard Ranch near
     Coats. Annie and Gary have a son, Jimmie Glen, born December 30, 1974.
