      Charels said that it was too dry to farm and his Dad wanted to be a grain farmer. We also know from the Quast family that the Sam Littau and Ludwig Wonenberg family left 'in the middle of the night' leaving everything and telling nobody. even to the extent that they left cattle and household things.
