Read More	Joseph Hess Sr. was born July 18, 1881 in Carroll Township, the son of James and Anna (Kalina) Hess. Joseph married Sophia Rayman, February 23, 1903 in Tama County. Sophia was the daughter of Frank M. and Barbara (Yuska) Rayman. Joseph and Sophia farmed in York and Carroll Township before purchasing a farm of 120 acres in Section 17 of Oneida Township where they resided until 1948 when they purchased a home in Clutier. Joe was a very dedicated farmer, always kept his weeds cut and buildings painted to perfection. He had a saw mill on his farm and sawed lumber for his own use and for his neighbors. He owned a threshing machine and traveled with his crew and neighbors, who exchanged work, from farm to farm during harvest season. It was quite a sight to see the steam engine tractor pulling the threshing machine, followed by many steel wheeled, horse drawn hay rack wagons traveling from one farm to the next. The women of the neighborhood would get together to help prepare meals for the threshing crews. And what meals they were, with plenty of all, including a variety of home baked breads and pastries. Before coming into the house for the meal a "clean up site" was usually set up under a tree. It consisted of a couple enamel wash basins on wooden orange crates, warm water from the kitchen range reservoir was contained in cream cans and towels for their use usually hung on the tree or clothes line. Joseph Hess Sr. died April 28, 1964 and his wife, Sophia died April 14, 1971. They are buried at the National Cemetery in York Township. Joseph Sr. was bedfast for a couple of years before his death, because of a stroke. Sophia died at the age of 93 and was physically and mentally able to care for herself until her death, although she did reside with her daughter, Gladys, at the time of her death. Joseph Sr. and Sophia were the parents of five children: Ferdinand E. and Louis P. died as infants. The three other children were; Gladys (Mrs. William A. Benda) 1906-1972; Joseph Frank 1912-1978 (married Elsie Urhammer); and Albye Jean (Mrs. Arthur Hennessy). by Joan Hess Bidwell Census 1920 Oneida, Tama, Iowa Joseph Hess Head M 40 Iowa Sophia Hess Wife F 42 Iowa Gladys Hess Daughter F 13 Iowa Albia S Hess Daughter F 7 Iowa Joseph F Hess Son M 7 Iowa
