"Looking at the world through rose-colored glasses." She was a member of the Rooters's Club and Senior Noise. LETTER TO HER BROTHER Just a month before her death, Anne wrote a letter to her brother, John, sent from San Haven, ND, to John at the Wicks Hotel in Mott, ND. She wrote in November 1933: "Saturday 4 p.m. - Dear Johnny: I seem to have a spark of energy so I'm going to fan it by writing to you. My, how proud I was to have your lovely letter & snapshot. The girls think you're quite a handsome brother. So do I! .. Johnny, I've a favor I'd like to ask of you. Remember the card I sent to you? Well I wonder if you could print 'A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year' on seven of those for me. I got the nurses some hankies, and a card like that put in the envelope with the hanky would save some wrapping and since I can't get about, it would make it easy for me. The nurses always rave about that printing so I know they'd like it. Could you do it? Or is it too much? Could you get some cards like that or should I send you some. They are 15cents a box at the dime store. So you listen to the minstrels? Well so do I. That's one thing we do together. Too bad we can't listen to the same radio instead of the same program. Gee, I get so blue and downhearted sometimes but what's a body to do? Just grit your teeth and bear it I guess. Maybe someday I'll have a chance to live a natural life. I had an X-ray this week. Dr. J. said today that there isn't much improvement but it isn't any worse. I'll just have to do better or I'll lay here forever. I wish I could gain but it doesn't seem possible. I try everything and can't gain.. "Sunday a.m. - The supper trays came before I could finish so I'll finish now. After supper I read my Tribune & a cute letter I got from Buddy. According to him this will be quite a day at home, for, Uncle Adam's family and you are to be home. .. Do you listen to Baron Munchhausen? I think he's good. .. Auf wiedersehen. Love & Kisses. Your sis, Anne." [Note: "Buddy" was younger brother George. "Uncle Adam" must have been Adam Gohring, husband of the deceased Eva Schweigert.] According to "Webb Brothers Funeral Homes Records" Annie died at Dunseith Sanitarium. This was a tuberculosis sanitarium located near Dunseith, ND, a town very near the Canadian border. No death certificate was found for her in ND.

Miss Weisenberger was a former student of Bismarck high and a member of the senior class of '30. She was unable to be graduated, however, because of illness. She spent a six months period at Denver, Colorado, in an effort to be cured of her disease, and also stayed a short time, before her death, at the Tuberculosis Sanitorium of San Haven, North Dakota. Although she was unable to take part in many activities of the high school, Anne made a studious effort to stay in school as much as possible in an endeavor to be graduated. Sources: 1.

|
| 119850 | www.findagrave.com: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=62271083 Dorothea (also known as Dorothy or Dora) Stickel was born on January 19, 1875 in Bessarabia, South Russia in the town of Wittenberg. Her parents were Johannes Stickel (1831-1911) and Katharina Mueller (b. 1833). Her family can be traced back in a direct line to Peter Stickel (1565-1613). She met and later married George Scharf on November 30, 1895 while in Wittenberg. Before immigrating to America in 1899 she may have given birth to one or two sets of twins (which apparently died) plus George J. (b. 1897) and Bertha (b. 1898). First living in Kulm, North Dakota and later on a farm outside of Wishek, North Dakota, Dorothy experienced a harsh life living on the prairie; at first in a sod and wood house along with a number of farm animals. Later on a more substantial home was built. Besides taking care of her growing family (she may have given birth to seventeen children in all) Dorothy also helped her husband with farm chores including plowing fields. Even after moving to the town of Wishek, George and Dorothy lived in a house with no indoor plumbing. When her husband died in 1936 Dorothy was supported for a time by her children—particularly by her teenage son Ervin who quit school to work in the town grocery store. In 1941 Dorothy was remarried to Christ Bier (1880-1962) who was originally from Worms, South Russia (Find A Grave Memorial # 37852441). Dorothy never learned to read and write English and spoke a kind of Russian/German all of her life. Dorothy’s pride and joy was always her garden. She loved flowers and harvested many baskets of vegetables, which she canned for the winter months. She cooked all her food on a wood burning stove and finally got an indoor bathroom a few years before her death. Grandchildren were much loved by Dorothy. A bowl of candy was always kept in her front parlor just for their visits. She died on October 10, 1962 at the age of 87. | Stickel, Dorothea (I164268)
