Times in Prussian Poland "Pozen" were not
good with maurading German soldiers looting and

wife to avoid this fate for his daughter.
Her parents never made it to America and died in Poland of Consumption.
Lottie returned to Poland with medicine for the family as there was little
available in the area other than folk remedies.
Dr. Abel a
"Jewish Doctor" maintained his office on Washington Street in South
Bend and served a large Polish clientel until he
passed away.
Mother did not speak english when we were little girls
and we had to learn how at grade school. It was very hard.
Adeline cherished and
loved her mother and thinks of her often to this day.
"SHE MADE ME THE
LADY I AM TODAY"

Polish Lady in the area to begin a Catering Business in association with St. Adelberts Church to serve ethnic weddings, birthdays, wakes
...etc.

and caterer with St. Hedwig Church in South Bend.
