An only child, daughter of Eduard & Katharina (Morlock) Fischer, married to Johann Emil Kratzmüller on 22 Sep 1907 at Hildburghausen, Thuringia, Germany.
They had 3 daughters, Katharina; Antonia (Toni); Elisabeth Anna.
Notice, this is her wedding photo, this time period brides often wore black.
What an era to have been born and live into. Two World Wars and the Great Depression, how did they manage?
As bad as the Depression was here in America, it was much worse for the people in Europe and Russia. I've known this lady take old sweaters apart to knit new socks and other garments. This you did not as a craft project but for family survival. I remember her taking a frayed collar off a shirt, and reversed it to make it like new again. She learned to be a good seamstress/laundress from her mother and told me how they washed the nuns black garments in potato water to keep the black fabric dye fresh and stiffer with the potato starch. She shared many of her laundry "secrets" with me.
Great cook, if needed, she could make good eatable soup from the oldest of reused bones. I recall her extra huge potato dumplings made with her big hands.
War is Hell for the soldiers, and at times so much worse for the civilians trying to survive. Even when she sat down to rest, her hands remained busy with some task, and prayed her rosary daily no matter how tired. Always was in good humor, hard working, loving and smiling. She had bad leg veins, after helping her daughter can/preserve the large garden, a blood clot developed and traveled to her heart that caused her death.
Slumber sweetly in
the Earth till your
Savior calls you.
