   and confirmed at St. John's. She attended church there until 1947 when

     Amzy was from Kiowa, Kansas. The two met in January 1959, through a
   cousin of Berniece's. Amzy was a cousin to the DeWeese family of Nashville
   and his parents, John Roy Rowland and Jennie Bixler, both lived in the

   conflict.

   in Wichita until August 1969 when Amzy, a lumberman, was transferred to
   Waco, Texas. They also lived in Norman, Oklahoma, and moved to Tulsa,
   Oklahoma, in January, 1975.
     They had two sons, Michael was born August 24, 1960, and Brent was born
   August 13, 1963.
     Amzy joined the Lutheran Church in Wichita in 1963 and was an active
   member wherever he lived; he also served as an elder. He passed away on
   October 16, 1984, the day before their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary,
   and is buried in the Lutheran Cemetery at Nashville.
