from Marika Kolb:
Josephine Beatrice Adcock was born and grew up on a farm about five miles northeast of Miller, Missouri in Lawrence County. She attended South Sycamore Grade School (District #14) through the eighth grade. This was a rural school about a mile west of her home. During these years Josephine and her sister, Lorene, usually sang a duet at the school pro- grams. Later, many happy hours were spent while Josephine played the guitar and sang soprano and Lorene harmonized and played the mandolin. They were often invited to sing at parties and other social gatherings. After graduating from the eighth grade, Josephine did housework for several families in and around the Miller area. In June 1939, she began working for a neighbor, the John Webb family, where she remained until January 1942. From April to August in 1944, she worked in the Vincent Cantrell home in Miller. She then visited a brother, Carl and family, in Arkansas City, Kansas and in October 1944, became an employee of F. W. Woolworth Company, a five and ten cent variety store in Arkansas City. For four years she filled the position of window trimmer and assisted in other areas as needed. She then was promoted to the office where she was cashier-bookkeeper for two years. One summer Josephine spent her vacation in North Dakota visiting her brother, Raymond, and was introduced to his County-worker, Peter Muth. They were married in January 1951. Peter Muth grew up on a farm fourteen miles southeast of Dickinson, North Dakota. He completed Shipley #2 Grade School and received religious instructions at St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School. He attended Model High School for six weeks, then dropped out to work in a CCC Camp. This was one of many programs enacted by President F. D. Roosevelt in the depression years of the 1930's, mainly to create more jobs for the unemployed. This particular program, The Civilian Conservation Corp, was commonly called CCC and gave training and jobs in the area of flood control, forestry, and soil conservation. Peter remained with this program for six months, then in 1939 he entered Coyne Electrical School in Chicago, Illinois and after graduating in March 1940, he spent the summer on his parents farm. He then worked for Flagel Electric Company until he enlisted into the navy on February 18, 1941. When Peter completed basic training at Great Lakes, Illinois, he was assigned to the USS Vestal, which was a repair ship. The USS Vestal was 1-6-8-3-7 docked alongside the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii when the Japanese attacked on December 7, 1941, and received extensive damage during the attack. After the ship was repaired, they went to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific Theater. In 1943 his two weeks of rest and recreation were spent in Australia. He was then reassigned back to the United States in 1944 and stationed in San Diego, California for two years. On December 18, 1946 he received a honorable discharge from the Navy with a rating of Electrician Mate First Class. Medals he earned were: American Area Campaign, American Defense, World War II Victory, and Good Conduct. In January 1947 he began working for Electric Sales and Service in Dickinson and a year later he bought shares in the company when it was incorporated and holds the position of vice president. Josephine and Peter have raised their family in the same house Peter's parents moved to when they could no longer manage farm life. It is located at 111 1st Street SE, Dickinson, North Dakota. Their four daughters attended St. Joseph Grade and Trinity High Schools in Dickinson, and each earned degrees from Nary College in Bismarck, North Dakota. Gloria full- filled her childhood dream by graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. She is now working at St. Alexius Hospital in Bismarck as a registered nurse. Karen earned a degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood and is teaching first grade at St. Joseph Elementary in Dickinson. Marla received a degree in Education and at the present time is working in Bismarck for Magi Touch, a retail outlet for furniture, Carpeting, wallpaper etc. Julie holds a degree in accounting and business administration and is employed by the Meyer Broadcasting Association in Bismarck. After the girls were old enough to attend school, Josephine began working at the Woolworth Store in Dickinson, mainly in the office area. She recently retired from there, but continues with her hobby of decorating wedding cakes which she has done for several years. Peter is now semi-retired and they are enjoying a slower pace of life which allows more time to be enjoyed together.
