Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of the story explains how Virgil’s ancestors from Europe all arrived at that small region called Woodland, Indiana. Emphasis is on what was going on in that part of each one’s world to cause them to migrate to this country and eventually to that spot in Indiana. Wars, religious intolerance, and decisions by the various kings or queens were the driving forces that caused so many to leave their homelands and look for better conditions. Life on a farm during the Great Depression and World War II is described in some detail. The emotional devastation upon learning of the deaths of two brothers in that war took a heavy toll on the Mochel Family. The second part deals with the many varied experiences of Virgil and Marian as they traveled their life-journey together, up to the present time.
