| Comment: |
John Bertsch donated the window but died shortly before it was installed so the window was then dedicated in his memory [GRP1917C] |
|
The window was originally supposed to be unveiled 14 Oct 1917 but rain delayed the installation [GRP1917B] |
|
Lucile Wilmarth Bertsch (1891-1985) was John Bertsch's daughter-in-law and Charles Harley Bertsch (1879-1961) was John Bertsch's son, and presumably the inscription was added some time after 1917 [FINDAGRAVE, DEDUCED] |
