Some days I feel I've passed those marks already. It will be interesting to hear the "rest of the story" as Paul Harvey used to say.

I had to peek at what could be an answer,

This website has a couple possibilities but I have a funny feeling it’s none of these.

  The rest of the story.
  I bought a home in Wilmot Wisconsin.  It was built in 1957 ,and owned by the same family since new.
 The widow passed away at 106 years old.
  There was a dedication plaque made when she turned 100.   This is the rest of the plaque.
 2 amazing children ,8 beautiful grandchildren , 12 loving great grandchildren, 1blessed family. All because of you.  Jeanette (Juddie) Rausch.  NO one in the family wanted the plaque.
 A neighbor brought me the plaque to see.  It will be donated to the Historical Society.
 BTW , I scored on this home. Updated , but untouched by Freddy the flipper or Harry the home owner.
 Plaster walls , 10 inch floor joist and cinder block and brick construction. I updated to my taste.

Congrats on the purchase, I was beginning to think we weren’t going to hear from you again until you turned 100!

That’s a great story cooldude

All the best with the house.

It’s a shame no family members wanted the plaque.

Would be interesting to know some of the history of the family…where the original owners came from, where they worked and so on.
