Note: Second youngest of 6 children. Worked at home as a kid because her mother and father worked in their bakery, and so she didn't finish grade school because she had to stay at home to take care of the youngest child. Lived above the bakery, which was on Lincoln Avenue in Peoria across from Lincoln Park. She would play in the park and take the younger child there to play. Also, there was a library near there where she spent a lot of time. Married at St. Boniface Catholic Church. Drove to church in horse and buggy. Had cousins who lived in Germany. She wrote to them and they referred to their Uncle Henry and Aunt Anna Barth. They lived on a farm in Huberhof, Germany and worked in town in Zweibrucken, Germany. In the letters, the German cousins also referred to other cousins who lived in Otterbach and Lambsheim and Hohenecken, Germany. In the 1950's, she became very ill and the doctors diagnosed cancer. Before going into the hospital for surgery, she made a novena to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus (Therese of Lisieux - The Little Flower - A Doctor of the Catholic Church). When she went for surgery, the doctors were astounded to find no cancer.
