Bill Ehlers writes, " Bill Deichmann was one of my heroes as a boy. He was the Leader of the BLUE BANNER 4-H Club and at the time it was the oldest continuing club in the state, I believe. He helped a lot of us kids with our calves. He also started a 4-H electrical club and we called it 'THE LEIGH LIVE WIRES'."
I will never forget looking at him in his casket at the funeral home. I cried and cried.
Bill Deichmann also raised the world's largest hog. He took over management of the family farm in 1926 and specialized in the raising of purebred Poland China hogs. In 1928, he raised "DAZZLER", which had the unchallenged distinction of being the world's largest hog. It was also the first hog to ride in an airplane. The hog weighed 1320 pounds and was taken by plane to the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines. 20,000 people passed his pen the first day. "DAZZLER" was featured in RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT. More than 500,000 people passed by his pen at the Nebraska and Iowa Fairs. The hog was sold at the Omaha Market for five cents a pound and his purchaser specialized in freak animals for exhibition." DAZZLER" died two months later. (Reprinted from the 75th Anniversary History of Leigh, 1962)
