Dear Stockton and area residents: On January 3rd, 2022... our daughter and her family's lives were changed in just a moment! Like many other families who lost their entire homes, farms, ranches and personal belongings during the tragic recent fires in our area, our daughter's home and all their personal belongings were totally destroyed by a "surprise fire" which raged through their house in rural Alton! BUT....HOPE was not destroyed!! On behalf of my wife and I plus our daughter and her family, Kendra and Clayton Yoder, we want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the Stockton Fire Department, Alton Rural Fire Department and Osborne County EMS and their amazing volunteers who helped fight the fire for hours and who risked their lives to salvage what could be saved! While some of these brave men and women were battling a raging fire on the second story on one side of the house, others were on the other side of this historic home....
