Two D-Day Heroes Stories Recounted at Isadora Memorial Day Gathering
Jeshua Blaine gave a history lesson on Den Brotheridge and Lt. Robert Mathias, two people who were among the first killed in the D-Day invasion on June 6th, 1944. He gave his talk at the annual Isadora Memorial Day gathering Monday.
Huey Rowen opened the gathering with prayer. Denise Rowen along with her children Abbi Rowen, Gabriella Rowen, and Alex Rowen led the Pledge of Allegiance, the Star Spangled Banner, and the Tribute to the Armed Forces.
Den Brotheridge is widely regarded as the first person killed in the D-Day invasion. He served in the UK and was widely respected by his men, as he would rather hang out with his men than with other officers. He had the ability to use any weapon and knew each of his men inside and out. He and 26 men were tasked with taking and holding Pegasus Bridge so that the Germans could not counterattack and drive the allies into the sea. Brotheridge had a wife back home who was eight months pregnant.
Brotheridge sent a single soldier to scout for the enemy, and he was detected and the Germans immediately threw up flares. Despite the danger, they charged and successfully took the bridge. Later, the unit discovered that Brotheridge was missing; it turned out that he had taken a bullet during the fighting and was dead.
Forty years later, as reported by the BBC, the daughter in question, Margaret, discovered what had happened to her father. Her mother had remarried when she was four and neither her mother nor her grandparents would talk about Lt. Brotheridge. In 1984, Margaret discovered a paper with a photo of her father’s group in it. With the help of surviving members of her father’s unit, Margaret was able to piece together what had happened to him.
One of the first Americans killed in the D-Day fighting was Lt. Robert Mathias. He was a boxer and won a national Golden Gloves championship. He headed the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the 82nd Airborne Division. He and his unit were tasked with landing behind enemy lines and wreaking as much havoc as possible to delay any German counterattacks. His plane took anti-aircraft fire and he was mortally wounded. But despite that, he realized that if he didn’t jump from the plane as planned, it would affect his unit’s morale. So he jumped, and his men followed after him. Thirty minutes after the landing, his men found him dead. He is buried in Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery in Cumberland (MD). He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.
Blaine said that Jesus sacrificed himself in the same way on the cross. He prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He did so despite the mockery from the fickle mobs, who just a few days earlier had regarded him as a king seeking to remove Roman rule. Blaine cited Romans 12:1, which commands people to present themselves as a living and acceptable sacrifice to God. “These men did not think more highly of themselves than others,” said Blaine. “We must continue to fight.”
Debbie Thummel closed the gathering with the playing of “Taps.”

Gabriella Rowen Honored at Graduation Party
Around 100 people came to Sheridan Christian Church Sunday to honor Gabriella Rowen at her graduation party. Gabriella, or Gigi, showed a lot of talent as a homeschooler as she sang a gospel song at the gathering. She plans to go to Northwest to study pre-veterinary studies. She works part-time at Dr. Gerald Myers at Pickering. She also plans to be in the Northwest Choir.
Her grandfather, Huey Rowen, spoke at the graduation party. He told a story about how she went to a t-ball game and asked a group of kids if she could play with them, which they did. Later that evening, she kept wanting to go somewhere and her mother kept having to jump up and bring her back.
Every kid looks forward to driving, but Gabriella was more insistent than most. Huey talked about how she was with him one time and she insisted on driving his truck sitting on his lap one time without him holding the wheel even though she kept driving into a hay bale.
Ever since she was able to do so, Gigi always helped her dad, Clint, with the calves. If Clint said something had to be done a certain way, she would do it that way no matter what anyone else told her. She took her job so seriously that one time, one calf fell through the ice and she jumped in frantically trying to rescue it. Luckily, her dad and grandpa were around, and they were able to help her rescue the calf, which survived.
There was also the time where Gabriella was bound and determined to make a cake just right, and after three years and going through numerous boxes of cake mix, she finally won first prize at the church with a cake that looked like a llama. There was also the time where she was knee-deep in mud working calves and she was smiling and singing her favorite hymns.
Huey had plenty of advice for her granddaughter, such as:
—Life is a continuous testament;
—Nothing in this world is going to last;
—Make good choices, have few regrets;
—Go above and beyond.
“You’ve done well, worked hard, and there is no reason why you won’t be successful in your next season of life,” said Rowen. “Faith makes you special. I don’t want the world to take that from you.”
Arvetta Terry Recognized as Oldest Grad at Sheridan Alumni Reunion
Arvetta Terry of the Class of 1951 was recognized as the oldest grad at the Sheridan High School Alumni Reunion for the second year in a row. Larry Dowis also graduated in 1951, but Terry is one month older.
The classes of 1955, 1965, and 1975 were recognized. There were yearbooks present for people to look at as well as two copies of the monthly paper that the school put out to fill in the void left by the demise of the Sheridan Advance/Northwest Missourian in 1940.
There were 17 members of the Sheridan High School Class of 1965 listed in the yearbook, down from 24 in first grade. They were Bob Young, Linda Dunn, Elegena Snow, Barbara Nigh, Chuck Lasley, Duane Hammers, Allen Davis, David Parman, Linda Findley, Brenda Wilson, Eldon Thomas, Michael Bainum, Roberta Hawbeck, Larry Proctor, Duane Wilson, Dennis Rohlmeier, and Rosalie West.
Students were able to leave wills in the Yearbook. David Parman willed his red Ford to Jay Sanders in hopes he would take out as many girls as he did. Duane Hammers willed his ability to hot rod around town to Gary Hawk and his ability to play center to Eugene Keats. Bob Young willed the ability to have wrecks to Richard Blackford in hopes he could do as good of a job as he had.
There were also prophecies speculating on what kind of futures the grads of 1965 might have. The Yearbook prophesied that David Parman would become the President of Short Line Railroad after working his way up the ladder, that Eldon Thomas would become a big rancher in Idaho and have all his friends give him the nickname of “Little Butch,” and that Rosalie West would become a home economics teacher in Hawaii where she would teach kids how to open cans, make coffee, and burn water.
The undefeated junior high basketball teams were celebrated in the yearbook. The girls consisted of Linda Rauch, Karen Lantz, Barbara Hammers, Betty Lasley, Verna Wilson, Jackie Sanders, Ina Johnson, Elaine Welch, Sharon Nelson, Vickie Snow, Sharon Constant, and Sherrie Rowe. They beat Clearmont 36-10 and 35-16, Pickering 34-15 and 29-15, Parnell 41-28 and 41-24, and beat Pickering 34-27 and South Nodaway 47-18 in the Parnell Tournament.
The boys consisted of Steve Hammers, Gary Hawk, Mike Martain, Richard Fletchall, Bob Wake, Terry Wyer, Steve Wake, Jesse Ridenouer, Larry Anderson, Bobie Henry, Alan Welch, and Dale Winemiller. They had a tougher go at it but beat Clearmont 14-10 and 25-9, Pickering 25-18 and 24-22, Parnell 27-19 and 23-19, Grant City 22-21, and Elmo 29-26. They won five of their eight games by one or two possessions.
The biggest factor in their success was their numbers. Both teams had 12 players out, which is much higher than typical numbers for junior high teams today, even with sixth graders now allowed to participate.
Elvin Long was the Superintendent and Wayne Winstead was the Principal. Teachers were Ann Waldeier, Veldena Long, Londell Severson, Dwight Kissler, Shirley Hanna, Gary McQueen, Opal Shelmann, Edith Parman, Marie Allee, and Margaret Findley. Cooks were Vetra Constant and Bertha Hibbs. Bus drivers were Bill Carden, Gene Brown, Cleo Seckman, and Viron Nelson. Custodian was Ben Hawk and secretary was Helen Anderson.
There were 43 different businesses, mostly from Sheridan and Grant City, that advertised in the yearbook.
Returning to Sunday’s gathering, there were 47 who attended. The most recent grads present were Chandra Hopkins and Rick Morrow. The farthest away was John Farrell, who came from 250 miles away. Rick Morrow was the closest; he lives one and a half blocks away.
Officers reelected for next year were Mike Scott (President), Steve Proctor (Vice-President), and Janet Gladstone (Secretary and Treasurer).
Recent deaths of Sheridan alumni included Eloyce Cossins, Don Hawk, Lavelle Hibbs, Marsha Jess, Jerry Wiley, Mary Poland, Frank Shupe, and Clyde Sims.
