The family employed the unmarried 17 yr. old Florence Richmond as a servant.

The widower, August Gallow, a 53 yr. old section foreman and a forty nine year old divorced son of Norwegian and German immigrants, Herman Melzer, also boarded there.  At that time, his parents were farming in Mead township, Clark County.
