My Family went West in the 1840's, men without women did not survive. My Great-grand mothers parents died on the Oregon trail she and her sister were given to a family in an adjoining wagon train.

She grew up Married my Great-grand father had eleven kids, was a midwife and delivered a thousand more, kept house and helped run the family Business, they were married for Sixty-three years, my Dad said that she was the most loving person he ever knew, said her life ended when her Oscar died.

Wow! What a amazing family you come from!! If your great grandfather had 11 kids, you must still have a lot of relatives running around.

Your great grandmother will never be forgotten for all the wonderful and fantastically strong things she did.

God bless your family!
