Randall Dreeszen
First Baby Title To Cushing Boy – Dreeszen Son Born January 1

The first New Year’s baby in the county didn’t waste any time in dispelling doubts in his claim. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Elvie Dreeszen, Cushing, in the Ida Grove hospital Jan. 1. Last year it was a different story as residents waited six days before the stork delivered the first baby in the county. The honor went to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Broders who farm 12 miles southeast of Ida Grove. It was a boy, Leland, for the Broders.
