EDWARD B. REGIER

Edward B. Regier was born on April 18, 1900 at Whitewater, Kan., to Gerhard and Catharine Wiebe Regier, the 10th of 11 children. He was called from this life on Sept. 28, 1982.

On Dec. 12, 1935 he was united in marriage to Agnes Epp.

The family homestead was his home for 82 years until failing health made it necessary to place him in a nursing home.
