Elma had moved to Villisca about 6 months ago because of poor health. She loved her family deeply and found great pleasure in both her own daughters and all of her grandchildren. Some of her children’s fondest memories were of family gatherings where they had great times with their double cousins for three of the Ziehe sisters married three Briggs brothers.
