==============================
Remembrance from grandchild, Cullis Holub (now deceased):
I remember my grandmother very well. We used to spend the night at her house when we visited. She lived with Aunt Lucille for many years until Lucille died unexpectedly. She had breast cancer and the cancer had moved to her bones (leg) and she couldn't get around. She was always very kind and loving.
This lady had a very hard life - a large family when her husband Fritz died at an early age. She was left with all the children in the middle of the depression and World War II. She often would go to the Lavaca County Court house to sew piece goods and sell them to make ends meet. Eventually (3) of her daughters: Margaret, Lillie and Helen would have to move to San Antonio on there own and live with more well to do people and work as nannies and send the money they made back home to Hallettsvile, so Grandmother and the younger daughter and sons could live.
She was very poor, and did not have any money for a burial close to her late husband.
