Letter: Thank you for the article on John Bosiger started the cider press
Icon viewers:
My mother, Gladys Eudora Basinger Bunn was one of 10 children born to Jerimiah and Anna (Diller) Basinger.
I would like the Icon to know how much the article in the Our Swiss Connections on "Suter cider press was started by John Bosiger," posted on the Icon on Dec. 10 touched my heart. I have no children, so I don't spend much time studying my family history, but yesterday a cousin from Texas contacted me and asked if I know any Basinger family history.
The Icon's article provided a huge amount of information, which I have passed on to my cousin, and I will share with other family members.
I was born and raised in Fremont, and as a child I spent a week each summer with my never married Aunts Pearl, Myrtle, and Gaynell Basinger at their home at 364 Cherry Street in Bluffton.
