Maggie Albers moved with her family from Munster, Ohio to Minnesota in 1866, settling in the community of New Munich. Her parents farmed. She often told the story of her childhood when her father hitched up his team of oxen and went to town for groceries and supplies. He was stranded in town for two weeks due to a blizzard. The family's grocery supply at home was soon depleted. Great-grandmother ý(Anna Maria Panschard?)ý was forced to mix flour and water together and fry it on the stove top. This served the family until their father returned.
