Sympathy on the passing of Dorothy Chester Herkenratt. We have followed her last journey and serious illness through our mutual friend, Audrey DeMann. My brother, Dallas, knew Dorothy through their quest of family and Rice County History as they both worked at recording it. Her contributions have been boundless and her obituary is amazing!
(Continued). We, (Drake kids)have also in common our fathers, Wayne Drake and Dick Herkenratt, first cousins. My Dad's father and Richard's mother were sister and brother. Holy Cross Episcopal Church and The Drake Farm also tie us together. My Dad was born at the Hwy 246 and Hwy 1 location....now listed on The National Register of Historical Places. Condolences to all of the family...
