Gerhard (Blackie)
KALITSKI bought Al FEHRER’S blacksmith
shop in 1977 thus ending 90 years of smithing
by 3 generations of the FEHRER family. The name, Fehrer Blacksmith, was
retained.(Source - Chronology of the
early settlers of White Breast Township and Lacona compiled by Edith
HEEMSTRA and John FORD sometime around 1980.)
