Recollections of Grandma Adele by Grandson William Harms II from an interview
He remembers riding his bicycle to her house to see her. He says that she was a heavyset woman and spoke with a thick German accent. For example, he recalls that she would say "brot" instead of bread. She was a kind woman who was always happy to see her grandchildren. She always seemed to be cooking a roast beef and potatoes. He only saw her one time after he left Wisconsin in 1945 with his mother, Nina, and that was when Grandma Adele took a trip to Spokane
