I am guessing that maybe she picked up some English as the children went off to school. I wish I knew more about their everyday life!Dorene from Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371522353987796175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657901541325041898.post-33146209275785968812012-04-05T19:30:02.928-04:002012-04-05T19:30:02.928-04:00Dorene, enjoyed the story of your Augusta.

My great grandmother Adeline's parents came from Germany about the same time (1880s) and they never were at home speaking English -- and only German was spoken at home. Was that so, with Augusta and her family? Thanks for a great story of a strong woman living in a new land with all of its hardships.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657901541325041898.post-69266278877432436052012-04-05T19:08:03.177-04:002012-04-05T19:08:03.177-04:00Thanks for your kind words Nancy!

It's amazing that she had 17 children! I can't begin to imagine.... The photograph you have of her and her family is beautiful.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
