Reinhart, Frank (80th - 1979)

A large number of relatives and friends gathered September 15 in the spacious well-organized machine shed on the Lone Ok Dairy Farm, located in the northeast corner of the Town of Warner and which Frank Reinhart is the owner to celebrate the 80th birthday of Frank.

The afternoon was spent visiting, reminiscing and enjoying refreshments of every kind, with ideal mid-
September weather.

Frank came to Clark County with his parents and his brothers and sisters in 1909. He helped improve his father’s farm, less than a mile away in the Town of Green Grove, which is now owned by his brother, George. As a young man, Frank spurned the lure of the city and purchased a tract of wild land with all the hardship and rigors of pioneer life. Much credit is due to the efforts of his wife, Rose, who passed away in early August 1976.

Often the going was tough. Frank and Rose persevered and verily did they experience the truth of Grays words:

Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield

Their furrows of the stubborn glebe hath broke,

How jocund did they drive their team afield,

How bowed the woods beneath their sturdy stroke.
