Some personal notes about his great-grandmother written by Jim Reppe.
Maria was just a young girl of eight when she traveled across the ocean from Sweden with her parents and siblings. She recalls that they nearly starved to death on the journey over. Maria experienced a number of tragedies during her live. She lost a baby named Richard and later on lost two daughters within three months of each other. She was a very socially active woman and entertaining friends and family were common occurrences. Her life is well documented in the old issues of the New Richmond News through the ward reporters. She was very active in her church as a member of a Ladies Aid and as Sunday School Superintendent. For years she opened the doors of her home to intern Pastors that served at the English Lutheran Church.
