Turner Buchhold

"The Buchhold children went to Kerrick School located at that time at the corner of 18th Street and Lower Hunters Trace. Th school was in a low area with a pond in the back. The children all got to school early and played. One winter morning they were playing "shinney" on the ice before Miss Alice Waller arrived to open the school. Skating around on the ice, hitting a can or something small and flat with sticks, warmed them on a frosty morning. [But the] unsupervised play got rough.

A larger boy, rushing and skating about - hitting, pushing and yelling, crashed into little Turner with his stick crushing the side of his skull. Caroline and Rudolph had to go through another traumatic experience [after the death of Karl from peritonitis] with their youngest child.

After hours of surgery and weeks in bed, [Turner] pulled through. He had trouble all of his life with adhesions and a plate either needed to be removed or replaced. He was a kind and gentle man. He made a good life for himself working for many years at the Kroger Baking Company."

-- from "Following Love's Journey: A Narrative of Harry Kerrick Yann and Augusta Katrinka (Catherine) Buchhold" by Mary Jane (Yann) Stapp, June 1998.
