We were told you upset the cradle many times on pur pose, especially with your young est sister, Fanny. During- your early childhood you had many memories of your Grandma Dietl; staying with her over night and she would teach you prayers. "Your childhood was very happy with lots of children to play with, although irom six years on you had to take turns in watching the flocks of geese; later-on as you grew older you had to herd the cattle. At 13 you were expected to take your place in the fields, although you would have preferred to go to the woods with the men to chop and help haul in the logs. ''As vour younger brothers and sisters grew older you were relieved of your duties at home so you went to the big city and tried working for one year. After hearing from your many girl friends that were in Amer ica, how easy it was to make a dollar, you decided to go across the ocean with a group of friends, arriving in Plattsmouth April, .1904. You did housework for; the Gering family until you met a sporty sailor, Ewald Ul rich, who . was at that time working in the Plattsmouth shops. You married this sailor in a double wedding ceremonv city, Omaha, where you now re side." Mr. and Mrs. Ulrich raised eight children.
