     The following is from the records of John Altenbernd #102.

Josie was by nature a very saving woman. Once, when Flora Stoerker mentioned she would like some peanut butter, Josie got some peanuts, ground them up, and mixed them with some regular butter rather than spend the money for peanut butter. She saved a few pennies that way. Another time when visiting Flora she had declined to have any eggs for breakfast. Later when Josie and Flora went to the store to sell the eggs, Josie noticed that Flora was only paid $.15 a dozen for them. "Is that all you get for your eggs?" Josie asked. "Yes", Flora told her. "Well then, I'll take two eggs for breakfast tomorrow, sunny side up", replied Josie.

Dear Flora:-
Let me again thank you for being so very good to Sonny and. myself during our short stay with you. I was uneasy and restless while I was away because I left in the thick of work. However I did not want to see Sonny disappointed entirely to have someone come to Denver to meet him halfway. So I went. And now I feel that I might have been led to make the trip. For I had a good visit with you, got to see Alma before her departure, saw Theo and Frieda, and proved to be instrumental in sending help to all of you in getting Josie to go to Blue Springs. I had made up my mind that she or Marie had to go. But I am glad that Josie went because I feel that she can do a better job since Alma feels closer to her. I was so glad when she said that she would go.

Sorry that you were out when I called you Friday night. I just wanted you to know that help was coming.

Here is the address which I promised to send: Eden Cemetery Association, 9851 Irving Park Boulevard, Shiller Park, Illinois. Rev. Paul Stoerker, Secretary. Please write to him again. He needs some reminders so that he will meet some of his long neglected obligations.

You can be proud of John. He is a fine young gentleman and will make a very promising preacher.

Wishing you both blessings for health and strength!

Sincerely, your brother
Adolph.14
