They had three children; Lucille Agnes in 1929, Frederick Harold, Jr. in 1931 and Susanne (named for Agnes' 2 sisters Susan & Anna) in 1934.Agnes taught the kindergarten Sunday School class for years. They always joined in, helped, and drove us to basketball games. At home with neighbors they enjoyed sled riding, taffy pulls, fudge making,etc. life was good. Every Sunday after church we went to Grandma & Grandpa's (William & Mary Hann) for dinner and an afternoon of home made ice cream, croquet with all the cousins and hide & seek. Agnes & Ted were both active in getting the Hopewell Church on the historical list. They were both laid to rest at the cemetery behind the church. (Contributed by Susanne Stubbs French).
