Oachs and Ward Family Website

Through the years, Florence Oachs has been the historian of the Oachs Family History.  She has compiled a large book over a period of more than 50 years. All of the biographies were compiled and submitted to a book about the History of Blue Earth County families.  Below are many of the handwritten letters she sent to my grandmother, Lorna Oachs Hansen, which she kept in her "bureau" drawer for years.  I scanned them in to share with many of our Oachs family members. These handwritten memories are invaluable to our family history.
