"Simon and Bertha VanNortwick moved to Osborne County [Kansas] in 1909. However in 1917, the ties of Republic County, became too great, and they returned to Union Township, where they purchased the Dancy homestead located three miles south of Republic. This farm was homesteaded by Bertha's grandfather and remained in the family until January, 1947, when they had a farm sale and moved into Republic. They lived in Republic for a number of years then moved to Camarilla, California, to be near their children."
