She was the apple of her father's eye and a very good little girl. THe only real time she was in trouble was when she was sent upstairs when she was young to clean her room. SHe did not want to clean it so she spit down the register tot he downstairs. She always denied doing this but her mother sworn to the story and said she was severely punished for it.

In 1928 she moved with her family to Henry, South Dakota, where they operated a dairy farm and later moved to a farm one mile west of Henry, SD. She attended Henry High School where she was Co--Valedictorian and where she excelled in Band, playing the trumpet. While playing the trumpet at a local basketball game, she was hit with a ball and the trumpet mouth piece broke her front tooth.

On June 11, 1945, a daughter was born to them in Watertown, South Dakota. Virginia and her daughter, Roxanne, lived with Virginia's parents in Henry, South Dakota until William came back from serving in the army during World War II at which time they moved to Watertown, South Dakota.

In 1965 they moved back to Watertown, SD and she went to work for Gray Photographic Studio and she worked there until January, 1978 when she took her final tests and went to work as a licensed South Dakota agent for Equitable Life Insurance Company.

Broadway in Watertown, SD in a home Virginia bought after her divorce. In November, 2000, Virginia and Richard Skinner purchased a new home at 1600 E.

Notes for WILLIAM FRANCIS TRENHOLM:
William Francis Trenholm was born February 19, 1920 in Watertown, South Dakota, the son of William Harrison Trenholm and Catherine Eva Coyle Trenholm.

Even as a young boy he was the back bone of the family and worked all of his young life to help support the family. Many times he would go to school with cardboard in his shoes for soles as they were just too poor to afford even new shoes for the children.

William F. Trenholm (known as Frenchy most of his life) went to Watertown High School but quit to help out the family. He later went back to finish high school and graduated from Watertown High School in 1940. He enlisted in the Army during World War II and was a Second Lieutenant, fighting over in Europe during the war. His daughter, Roxanne, has many photographs of the battalion he was in charge of.

On August 15,l 1944 he married Virginia G. Rawlins in Chicago, Illinois. A daughter, Roxanne Virginia, was born to them on June 11, 1945 while he was in the service. He had sent his wife home to her parents when he was shipped over seas and Roxanne was born in WAtertown, South Dakota. He did not even see his daughter until she was a few months old.

After discharge from the service, William moved his family to Watertown, South Dakota, where he went to work for Northwestern Bell Telephone company. In 1951 he was transferred to Wessington Springs, South Dakota, where he served as manager of the telephone company there. In 1958 he was again transferred to Redfield, SD as manager of the telephone company there and helped with the conversion of that telephone company from operator service to dial service.

In 1965 he moved with his wife back to Watertown, SD but continued to work for Northwestern Bell until his retirement in 1981. Northwestern Bell had split into Bell and AT&T and consequently, William retired from Northwestern Bell Telephone Company on December 31, 1981 and from AT&T on January 1, 1982.

He was a leading member of the VFW Club in Watertown, the Telephone Pioneers and the Communication Workers of American along with the Watertown Elks Club.

She had a pet Boston Terrier puppy, named Toy, who walked her to school every day. On her 6th birthday she was given a pet kitten, named Fluffy, and she loved to wheel her cat around dressed in doll clothes and in a doll buggy.

After the birth of Noelle, Roxanne worked for Dr. E. H. Heinrichs, a pediatrician in Watertown, as his secretary until his retirement and then in November, 1977 she went to work as a legal secretary for Ross H. Oviatt in Watertown.

In 1982 she and Richard Rossow were divorced and she moved with her daughters into Watertown. She met Arvold L. Hardie in Redfield, SD when she was back there visiting and on December 24, 1984 they were married. On September 6, 1986, a son was born to Roxanne and Arvold, Shane Edwin Hardie.

Roxanne worked in the legal field until 1996 when her father got very ill and she quit work to help care for him until his death. A month after her father's death, her husband, Arvold was diagnosed with tonsil cancer and underwent radiation therapy and surgery and then recovery so Roxanne did not go back to work and became a housewife and stay-at-home mother.

Arvold and Roxanne had purchased a home at 109 9th Street SE, WAtertown, South Dakota, in 1985 and at this writing are still residing in that home.

He went one year to State College in Brookings, SD and then served in the US Army where he was stationed overseas, mainly in Germany and learned to speak fluent German. During his early childhood and throughout all of his adult life, he was a rugged ourdoor individual, loving to hunt, fish and trap.

After discharge from the Army Richard returned to Watertown where he worked for a time for Owen Electric Company and then in 1967 he joined the Watertown Police Department where he worked until he retired in 1998 as a Captain.

On June 4, 1970 he married Roxanne Trenholm (born June 11, 1945) at Watertown, South Dakota in the United Methodist Church. He lived in an upper duplex for the first 3 years of their marriage in a house owned by Roxanne's parents at 814 N. Broadway in Watertown. On June 24, 1971 a daughter was born to this union, Rochelle Lynne Rossow.

In August, 1972, Roxanne and Richard decided to invest in some lake land on Lake Pelican, just 2 miles west of Watertown. They purchased 2 acres of lakeshore for a total p;rice of $3,200.00 from Mrs. Mary McKinney. By the following April they had the land paid off and decided to use the land as a down payment to build a home on the land. They borrowed $21,000.00 and began construction of a home which they moved into in November, 1973. The land was located in Porter White Outlot, Lake Pelican.

On December 11, 1973 a daughter was born to this union, Noelle Lea Rossow

In 1975 Richard began raising wild mallard ducks, white geese, guinias, wild turkeys, peacocks and Canadian honker geese as a hobby. This hobby got started when he bought three little white ducks for his daughters for Easter in 1975.

Richard and Roxanne were divorced in 1982. He later married LuAnn Sargeant in Watertown, SD and continued to life in the lake home on Lake Pelican. He had little to do with his daughters after his remarriage and until the late 1990's, had no contact with his daughters. His daughter, Rochelle, later reunited with her father but his daughter, Noelle, never regained a relationship with him.
