• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: Bernice tells her story, "I was confirmed in Industry Methodist Church at the age of thirteen. I attended the Industry School where my teachers were Gertrude Niebuhr, Sally Fordtran, O'Reed Fordtran, and R.W. Jackson. The school then had ten grades and I graduated there. I have always enjoyed sewing and quilting. I began sewing at the age of eleven and have no idea how many quilts I have done in the years since then. I have also tended to my poultry, like gardening, and generally tend to the farm now since Hugo is unable to do hard work any longer." There is still much wildlife in the area and deer often come to eat from the garden. Wolves also come near the place, often stealing a chicken or turkey before the dogs can chase them away. Mrs. Eckermann likes her Dalmations who help her care for the stock and assist with keeping the varmints away. [Luetge, SCISSORTAILS STILL RETURN TO SCHOENAU, pp. 18,19]
