I have a rather unusual story to tell today. Actually, part of it was told in earlier posts, but I was not aware of the connection to today’s tale.

Hyde’s Mom – 10/10/10

October 10, 2020

Knowing that today is October 10th, which is also sometimes written as 10/10, I decided to look for a 10/10/10 story. I first looked to see if there might be some reference to a special event in our German Family Tree that took place on October 10, 1810. That search was unsuccessful. I then decided … More Hyde’s Mom – 10/10/10

Emma’s Heartbreaking End

August 1, 2019

Today’s story had so many twists and turns.  For a while, I even considered not telling it.  However, as you can see, I did end up writing and sharing it.  And now that I have finished researching it, I conclude that it is an amazing tale. Emma Christiana Maria Lueders was born on August 1, … More Emma’s Heartbreaking End

Newlyweds Off to Nebraska

February 11, 2019

I am going to tell a story today that fits in with a recurring theme in the annals of East Perry County history.  The theme is as follows:  “Get married; leave town.”  I have found quite a few of these types of stories especially among those who got married right about the time of World … More Newlyweds Off to Nebraska
