George Macht by Cecelia Tibbetts:
Uncle George was a quiet person. He was the oldest boy. He helped with all the farming and worked on the roads. When he was 18 and World War I had started he was drafted into the United States Army. He was stationed for a while at Fort Riley and then was sent overseas to fight against Germany. We went to the depot in Wamego where we lived and stood near the tracks to watch the troop trains from Fort Riley go slowly by and waved to all the soldiers. Mom said she knew Uncle George was on one.
He used to take me with him sometimes to bring in the cows in the evening for milking. He showed me all the different rocks (probably from the glacier many years before) and the lizards that stayed around them. Uncle Pete called them "go devils" and told me not to bother them. They were bright colors of red, green, and orange. There were wild strawberries we picked. (Lena and Kate and I used to go there sometimes in the afternoon) in the pasture. They were smaller than tames ones, but a lot sweeter and better.
He came over from Koehler White Russia on the boat with his parents and family. He was also the oldest of the children. He is buried beside Grandpa and Grandma in the Catholic Cemetery, Wamego, KS.
