Betty Ann Barr Boilesen
Growing up on the
Farm
As retold by Doug Boilesen,
son of Betty Ann Barr Boilesen
Betty was born on August
26, 1924 in Elba, Nebraska in 1924 on a 650 acre ranch by a river
and lots of cottonwood trees.
Baby Betty
In later years she
would speak fondly of that river ranch which they unfortunately
lost during the Depression.

They would move to
another farm where Betty would go to school in Cotesfield until
she went to Grand Island High School for her Junior and Senior
years instead of Cotesfield High School since her mother thought
she would get a better education in a larger school.
