Branches Reach Far
Some friends on the West Coast sent me the article that Sharon Dirlam wrote Aug. 30 on Dirlammen, Germany. My family has lived here in Mansfield for four generations. My great-grandfather, Judge Darius Dirlam, was the first judge of Common Pleas Court here, mayor of Mansfield three times and went down the East Coast, walked across Panama and then took a ship up to the gold fields of California.
