Quandt Headstone, West side inscription.
When God created farm folks, He was surely at His best.
He made them something special to help clothe and feed the rest.
The man He gave wide shoulders, burly hands, a friendly grin,
an old dusty farm cap - in places worn quite thin.
An optomist in coveralls - determined, strong and true,
a man whose love of country life would help to pull him through.
Next He added intelligence, gentleness and grit,
He even found a place for the funny bone to fit.
Then God took a little rest, He was only halfway through
He had yet to make the farmer's wife, no ordinary gal would do!
He started with endurance, stamina and pride
for she would be a woman to stand at the farmer's side.
He gave a sense of humor, then added warmth, a loving heart,
courage, brains, and enduring faith - He'd made the perfect start!
Then He put the two together, the farmer and his bride,
to work and love the land, forever - side by side.
