Contributor: Deano (50599775) DARWIN LESLIE VERMELINE Darwin and I were born and raised in the Malmo community. Darwin is the son of Adelene Vermeline of Wahoo, Nebraska and the late Victor Vermeline of Malmo, Nebraska. He attended school at District 85, north and west of Malmo. This school district dissolved and the building was sold. We purchased this building and moved it to our farm where it still remains. Darwin's grandfather, father, brothers, himself, and three of our children all attended this school. Upon graduating from the 8th grade, he attended Malmo High School and graduated in 1950. My parents were Jack and Frances Banghart of Malmo. I attended School District 75 which is still in operation, upon graduating from the 8th grade, I attended Malmo High School and graduated in 1952. Darwin and I met in high school and were married on June 29, 1952. We lived on the farm owned by David Peterson of Malmo. Then on December 20, 1952, Darwin received his notice from the War Department to report on January 20, 1953. He left for basic training and went to Camp Polk, Louisiana. On June 29, 1953, on our first wedding anniversary, he left for Germany and was stationed at Regensburg, Germany with the 485 Headquarters Battalion Corps of Engineers. He was discharged on January 20, 1955. We again started farming on the David Peterson farm. In 1973, we purchased this farm and have remained in farming and raising cattle. We were blessed with four daughters: Mrs. Velgene (Cynthia) Karstens of Prague, Nebraska; Mrs. Cal (Denise) Allen of Garland, Nebr.; Mrs. Robert (Kristie) Lynch of Lincoln, Nebr.; Lisa Vermeline of Wahoo; and two grandchildren, Brent and Kari Karstens. Darwin was baptized and confirmed at the Edensburg Lutheran Church of Malmo. I was baptized and confirmed at the Bethesda Covenant Church of Malmo and joined Edensburg Lutheran Church after our marriage. Our children are members of Edensburg, were baptized and confirmed there. Darwin is now on the church council and has been active in many ways. He is also active and a permanent member of the American Legion Post 232 of Malmo, member of 40 and 8, has been a volunteer fireman for the Malmo Fire Department for the past 24 years. We have been members of Farm Bureau for the past 27 years. On August 7, 1978, my sister, Adele Jackson, and I each received the AK-SAR-BEN Pioneer Award at the Saunders County Fair in Wahoo. We received an engraved plaque and framed certificate which were presented to the pioneer families. Our great-grandfather, Martin Stillman Hills, started farming when Saunders County was first being settled. This award is made annually to owners of farms which have remained in the same family for one hundred years or longer. We still have this land. Submitted by Sharon Jean Vermeline
