          Artine Deistler, daughter of Herman and Christine, was born June 17, 
     1895 in McPherson County, Kansas, the sixth of ten children. When she was
     5 years old they moved to a farm near Natrona in Pratt County, Kansas. She
     attended Bunker Hill country school and graduated at Pratt High School in
     1914. She attended a normal training program and taught school 4 years. After
     Willie and Artine were married at Newton, KS May 24, 1919 they resided on the
     family farm after building a house in Isabel for his Mother.
