- My great-great grandma Rose's full name was
Petronella Rosella Lamers Sanderfoot. She was born
on July 29, 1908 in Chili, Wisconsin. She married
Joseph Sanderfoot on June 22, 1926 at Holy Name
Church in Kimberly, Wisconsin. She also married
John DeValk on Nov. 29, 1979. She had 6 children.
She died on September 16, 1996 at Parkside Care
Center.
My great -great grandma Rose used to always
feed the hobos when they came offthe trains. She set
up a card table on Saturday night, then on Sunday
morning before church, they put a tablecloth on the
table. Then, after coming home from church, my
great- great grandma and her daughters helped make
a big breakfast. All ofthe hobos would come to eat at
her house because they knew that if they went there,
my great- great grandma Rose would give them food.
My great -great grandma Rose took care ofher
husband and six kids, her parents, for a while she
took care ofthe neighbor's children, and fed all of the
hobos every Sunday morning. My great- great
Grandma Rose was a very generous person.
