Biography by PJ's Gramma
Emma * February 13th, 1884 in Bulatschi in the Crimea, daughter of Christian and Christine nee Schamber, was baptized on February 26th, 1884 in Samau. Godparents: Christian Weiß, Susanna Weiß. Emma marries her father's great-nephew, Reinhold Eisenbraun from Samau, born on November 18, 1906. old style 1883, see also under (197). Reinhold was a teacher in Samau, where they also ran agriculture and built their own house in 1911. Reinhold was drafted into the army at the end of 1914 and died on March 14, 1915 on the front near Warsaw. On March 15th Emma gave birth to her sixth child, whom she named Reinhold in memory of her husband. Emma no longer married. Her husband's brothers helped her in the economy and there were often arguments because the women were jealous of the young widow. Emma was a devout and energetic woman. Probably through the years spent without a husband .... When the evacuation was announced at the outbreak of war in 1941 and it was said that they had to be ready to leave within 24 hours and only allowed to take food and essentials with them for a week, Emma asked her children to slaughter a sow. They refused and went to work. Nobody wanted to believe that they would be forcibly evacuated, everyone worked until the last moment. Emma slaughtered the sow herself, cut it up as much as she could and seared the meat. She put the seared meat in an enamel bucket, poured melted pork fat over it, closed the bucket with a lid and tied a rag over it. In the house that Emma and her husband had built in 1911, the youngest son Reinhold and the oldest son Samuel lived with his wife Olga and their two children. Olga was a hardworking woman and, although pregnant, she helped her mother-in-law everywhere. This meat came in very handy on the journey, which lasted several times longer than the promised week. Emma often visited her son Reinhold in exile in the 1930s and her sons in the Trud Army during the war. After the eldest son Samuel died in Siberia, she lived with her daughter Lilli in the village of Novo-Nikolajewka, Ischmorskij district in the Kemerovsk region. Then she returned to the youngest son Reinhold and daughter-in-law Olga in the Kustanaier region in Kazakhstan. In 1950, through the Red Cross, she managed to locate her daughter Martha, who had come to Germany during the war, and she decided to move in with her. At the age of eighty she did not dare to drive alone, and the trip involved a lot of formalities. She began to ask among the relatives who would accompany her, but no one wanted to take the burden on themselves. One day she started to complain to her grandson Reinhold: "As long as I could help others I was welcome to everyone, and now that I am old and needy, nobody wants to help me." These words got under Reinhold's skin and he agreed to accompany his grandmother to Germany. Obtaining the documents took a long time. The journey was long and arduous. They were finally at their long-awaited destination. The reunion of the old woman with her daughter in September 1979 in Würzburg, after twenty years of separation, was very moving. Emma lived with her daughter Martha (398) for almost two years. She died on November 5th, 1972 and was buried in the municipal cemetery in Mainbernheim.
