Geraldine E. (Wehling) Dennis was born on A;ril 6, 1919 near Nashville,
     Kansask and lived on a farm with my parents until 1938. My parents were
     Henry and Lillian Wehling. They lived on the C.N. Marshall farm until 1936.
     Then my father bought a farm a few miles away. There were three children
     in our family. I was the oldest, then my sister Edna Mae and our brother
     Delbert. We went to a country school called Cream Valley. For three years
     I stayed with my grandmother and went to high school. My last year of
     high school our country school was consolidated with Isabel so we went to
     school in the school bus.
          After graduating from high school in 1937 I went to beauty school in
     Hutchinson, Kansas. Then after graduating I worked in a beauty shop in
     Wichita, Kansas. After that I worked for a while in the Barber County
     Treasurer's office. Then I worked in a beauty shop in Medicine Lodge, Kansas
     before becoming a bookkeeper for a Dodge automobile dealer and then for
     Champlin Oil Company both in Medicine Lodge.
          On March 11, 1961, I was married to Glenn Pat Dennis, who was born in
     Marshall, Oklahoma. We have a son, Henry Clark Dennis. Henry was married to
     Gwendolyn Denise Ott on July 3, 1982 and they live in Manhattan, Kansas 
     where Gwen works in the bakery at Dillons and Henry goes to Kansas State
     University. Henry is studying chemistry and will graduate in May of 1987.
          Pat and I are retired and we are currently living in Medicine Lodge. 
     Pat spends a lot of time on his hobbies and I do a lot oc crocheting and 
     needlepoint. We also have a big yard and garden that we enjoy and take care
     of in the summer.
