She worked most of her life, and at one time worked as a bookkeeper at Parkers in Davenport Iowa. She was full blooded German, even though her parents and grandparents were born here. She grew up in a basically German town area.
She was born in Gilberts Town, which is now called Bettendorf Iowa to Frank Fredrick and Annie Dora Kiem Hartung.
Mabel taught sewing, which included tatting, crocheting, knitting, as well as hand sewing and by machine. She crocheted, sewed, and knitted many many things in her life. I have a few.
Mabel will be truely missed by my sons and I. We visited her as often as we could in the nursing home. My sons adored her.
