Marie emigrated, at the age of sixteen, to the United States aboard the Vessel SUEVIA, which traveled from Hamburg, GE. and arrived at the port of New York, NY. on March 13,1892. She had traveled with her sister, Anna, age twenty. The Ship's Passenger List shows her name to be MARIE WOLFF. (HAMBURG PASSENGER LISTS, band 42). The last words their Father told them were, "FORGETTEN NE YOUR GOTT". (Do not forget your God).
She worked near Millard, NE. where she met her future husband, Claus. She crocheted a lot especially when she came from Germany and was lonesome. She also would go out and look at the stars at night and remember that her family in Germany were looking at the same stars, per grand daughter Lorraine Ehlers Bahr.
She always worked hard. She raised a lot of chickens. By treating the floors of her house with hot boiled linseed oil she worked them into having a hard shiny finish.
Her daughter, Lena, said she had a wonderful childhood. Marie and her girls would take long walks in the fields in the evening.
Her daughter, Katie, said she never tasted apple coffee cake and sour cream cookies like her Mother made.
Her son, Will Ehlers told of mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks in the fields. Marie only made yeast-type breads. He had never eaten baking powder biscuits until after he was married.
Her grand daughter, Vera Ehlers Hardung relates how when she was young, her Grandmother would pick feathers from live geese for pillows. Her youngest son, Art Ehlers also remembered the goose feather pillows.
In 1956, Marie had not heard from her brother or three sisters in Germany since WW II. She also related to Vera Ehlers Hardung that one or two of her nephews were Russian Prisoners of Warin WW II.
Grand daughter Sharon Wiebold Chaulk remembered Marie usually wearing a bandana tied around her neck. When Sharon's family would visit her Grandparents, sometimes on Sunday afternoons, Marie would usually answer the door and say," Where'd you come from?"
Marie did not like the color pink.
Her grandson, Bill Ehlers remembers, "When we used to visit Grandma and Grandpa, she would always be working on crochet projects. I have one of her table cloths. It is beautiful and people still admire it".
Grand Daughter Lorraine Ehlers Bahr related that when Marie crocheted and her hands became stiff, she would place them inside the warm water tank on the wood stove to make them feel better.?
