The Story of Agnes McCarthy
During a Nebraska winter snowstorm in 1937, Edward McCarthy spent the day helping a neighbor gather his cattle to protect them from the storm. He died of pneumonia two days later. His wife, Agnes, was at home with a six-month-old daughter and seven other children up to the age of fourteen — eight children and no financial resources! The depression from losing her husband and the overwhelming responsibilities would take years for her to overcome. But overcome she did. And her family of eight children has become a family of over 350 descendants today.
