Living Earnestly: Earnest Geis recounts 100 years
From his humble beginning in Scotland, Texas to his country life in Young County for over 60 years, Ernest Geis has been through thick and thin as he approaches his 100th birthday next week.
Geis was born Feb. 12, 1924 to William Henry Geis and Ada Christine Geis in Scotland at a two-story house across the street from the catholic church. He is the oldest of six children, three brothers and two sisters, and his youngest sister Lucille is his only remaining sibling.
