Funeral services and burial will be held at Hopkins, Michigan, Mr. Ingerson's old home, Wednesday. Mr. Ingerson had been employed as chemist for the Chickasha Cotton Oil company for the past 22 years. He was a member of the Congregational Church. He is survived by his wife and son and his sister, Mrs. Agnes Iler, Hopkins, Michigan. Note to ECH from Seymour Bidwell Ingerson: "It is hard for the present generation to believe what we had in the way of money in earlier generations. But we got by OK! The most my father ever earned was $200 per month ($2400 per year) but that gave us a comfortable living and put me through 5 years of college (I had no scholarships or other outside financial aid). To further amaze you, in 1912 my father was making $17.50 a week as a chemist for Swift & Co. in Fort Worth, and he quit that job, sold their home in Fort Worth, loaded their furniture in a boxcar and moved to Chickasha so he could work for Chickasha Cotton Oil Co. at $18.50 a week (They moved in October and I was born in November, a narrow escape from being a Texan)." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Grady County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/grady/grady.html
