  • Notes 
    • My great grandma also died before I was born. She was Marie Lydia Weyenberg. She had 9 brothers and sisters. Their names were: Mildred, Helen, Clarence, Lillian, Rosemary, Norbert, Loretta, Eleanor and Lawrence. She was born on September 26. 1917. She had white hair when she was little and her grandma used to tease her about being small. She saw her first fire at the family farm when she was 6. The combined locks fire engine came to help. As a child she liked to run track, play basketball and baseball, go roller-skating, dance, and sew. She only went to school through the 8th grade. She earned her living as a nanny for a Jewish family. She also worked for Zwicker's and Scolding Locks making bobbie pins. She also worked for St. Elizabeth's Hospital and cleaned the rooms. As she got older, some of her interests were playing bingo, eating out,
      playing cards, drawing, gambling, dancing and traveling. She met my great
      grandpa at a dance at the Cinderella when Frank asked her to dance the Blue Skirt Waltz. She drove home with frank in his 1939 Oldsmobile. She married Frank on June 18, 1940 at St. Paul's Combined Locks at 8 am. They had a breakfast dinner and a dance at the Nightingale. Their first home was in Appleton on Maple Street near the golf course.
