- Milton and Erna Brosz Family
Milton Brosz Family
Milton Brosz, son of Ferdinand and Katherine Brosz, was born and raised on
their farm about eight miles northeast of Tripp in Hutchinson County, S.D. He
went to country school and church nearby while living with his parents.
Erna Brosz (Bietz) was born to Joseph and Dorothea Bietz on a farm four miles
north of Delmont in Douglas County, S.D. She went to country school and church,
also. In those days you had to go to school until you passed the eighth grade
or were 16, so Erna went through the eighth grade. A number of years later, Erna
and Milton were married, and lived and farmed in Hutchinson County for 14
months near Tripp, and 13 years near Parkston. They bought a farm in Douglas
County and lived there until they retired in 1972, after farming 42 years. Now
they live in Delmont.
Milton and Erna's family consists of two sons, Marvin and Wilmer, and one
daughter Alice. Marvin, the oldest, went to several different country schools
before the family was settled. He went to Parkston High School for two years,
and graduated from Delmont High School. He went to college in Waverly, Iowa,
four years, and then went into the U.S. Air Force. He married Charlene Gremmert
and began working for General Electric, and is still with them at this time. At
present they are living in Brookfield, Wis. They have two living children, Stan
and Marlene.

Wilmer helped his dad on the farm after graduating from high school and later
was inducted into the army. He served there three years and then went to
College, taking a business course. He was married to Gertrude Ann Kordewich and
they have a family of three boys, Tim, Doug, and Robert. Wilmer and his family
live in Northfield, Minn., where he is president of Norwest Bank.
Alice also went to several country schools and graduated from Delmont High
School. After graduating she went to Omaha to further her education and then
went to Washington, D.C., to work. There she met and married T. C. Thompson, a
career man in the U.S. Air Force. He is now retired and they live in Panama
City, Fla., with their two children Linda and Tom.
