He lived on site in the Gardener’s House with his wife, Elizabeth Adelia Woerdefoff (1881-1962) and a granddaughter, Bettie Anne Rauch, who was under their care during much of this period. (My Grandfather actually died in the kitchen of the Gardener’s House on the Farm.) This copy of a photo of William and Elizabeth Rauch (native Iowans) was taken at Four Mounds Farm in about 1946. (I am not certain who the child is in my grandmother’s arms, but it may well be my youngest sister, Madelon Elizabeth Rauch; my parents (Professor and Mrs. Rufus William Rauch) and I and several of my siblings visited Four Mounds on a number of occasions while my grandparents lived there.) ca. 1946 Rauch, Hilary J. - Grandson of William Rauch Hilary J.
