Amelia is my grandmother. She was born in Russia – a Volga German. In 1907 her family – father William, mother Karoline and brother Fred - emigrated to the US, to Tampa, Marion Co, Kansas, where Karoline died in 1910. William moved to Bessie, Oklahoma and married twice more. Amelia had two brothers, 4 step-brothers and three step-sisters, and three half-sisters.
In 1920 Amelia, at age 18, married Earl Simmons of El Reno, Oklahoma. They had four children, Albert, Raymond, Don, Roseann. In 1942 they divorced. A few years later Amelia came to Oklahoma City where she lived the rest of her life.
