Description	:	Christina Terre' Spies was a very quiet woman. Sophia, Mary and Hilda (her grandchildren) remember her as always sitting in a chair and praying the Rosary. They thought she must have been homesick for Russia. They stated that she was a thin woman. She was extremely particular and neat so she didn't want the grandchildren in her house. She would go visit her children's homes. There are no pictures of their house. After Peter Sr. died she sold the land and the house on the farm, but kept the house in town. Read More	Christina Terre' Spies was a very quiet woman. Sophia, Mary and Hilda (her grandchildren) remember her as always sitting in a chair and praying the Rosary. They thought she must have been homesick for Russia. They stated that she was a thin woman. She was extremely particular and neat so she didn't want the grandchildren in her house. She would go visit her children's homes. There are no pictures of their house. After Peter Sr. died she sold the land and the house on the farm, but kept the house in town. Isadore, their son, was still living at home but when he was old enough, he joined the army. She must have then sold the house in St. Peter because she took turns living with her children. She was at Peter Jr's house in Quinter when she died. Sophia (Spies) Brown [granddaughter] tells this account of the incident: Momma had gone to the store and grandma was sitting on the back porch on the chair she always sat in to rest or pray. She never talked much (Sophia) was in the kitchen. Grandma called to me "Sophia, I have to lay down, I am very sick." "What's wrong grandma?" "I can not get my breath, I can not get any breath, so open the door." I (Sophia) put water on her and helped her and said, "Don't die." So I ran out fast. It was far away and then I told Dad, "Dad, hurry home, grandma is very, very, sick." Then Dad drove back with the horses and when he came back to the house she was dead.
