Mount Olive Sons and Daughters Who Served in the Military During World War II

During World War II, 125 members of Mount Olive served in the armed forces. The congregation supported these young people with prayers for their safety and kept in contact with them via a monthly newsletter that was edited by Louise Schroedel (wife of Pastor Schroedel). Here are some of Mount Olive's sons and daughters who served their country in a time of great strife and uncertainty.		Martin Agather	Robert Appel	William Appel
