Read More	Marie Albertina "Albertina" (Metschke) Schwanke was born to her loving parents Friedrich and Maria (Hansel) Metschke on Thursday December 16, 1869 in Germany. Albertina, which she preferred being called, came to America with her parents on the Hermann arriving on Wednesday July 21, 1873 at the age of three and a half years. Albertina was raised on a farm eight and a half miles west of Scribner, Dodge County Nebraska. Albertina was united in marriage to Christ Schwanke on Thursday February 2, 1893 and the couple were blessed with eleven children over the years of their marriage. It is believed their oldest children were a set of twin girls. The girls died at birth, sadly there are no records of the twin's names nor where they were buried. They then had six sons and three daughters, of which there was a second set of twin girls. The couple first lived for about ten years in Colfax County Stanton Township while acquiring several farms in Dodge County. They then moved to a farm south of Leigh, Colfax County. Next they moved to a farm south southwest of Leigh, Platte County with the GPS of 41.654460, -97.272033 which became their home where they continued raising their family. Albertina would speak German and very little English during these years of her life. They celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary in February 1943. They resided on this farm until February 1946 when Albertina fell ill and they moved into the City of Leigh. This property is listed as 311 Beech Street with a GPS of 41.707245, -97.233709. The couple was cared for by their daughter Emma with the assistance of her brother Elmer. Albertina was a good American mother but never became a US citizen. There was concern of her being exported back to Germany before she passed. Sadly Albertina passed on Friday September 20, 1946 of cancer. My mother was pregnant with me at the time. Albertina was 76 years, 9 months, 4 days of age which does not include her last day, she lived a total of 28,036 days. Albertina's funeral service was held at Saint Paul's Lutheran Church south southwest of Leigh, Platte County on Monday September 23, 1946. Albertina was interred in the Saint Paul Lutheran Cemetery in row six. Albertina's information was provided from researching many resources and my memory. This biography was created as an honor to Albertina by her grandson Loren R. I believe all lives matter, even the lives of those who have passed. Many details are still missing from her life, if you have any more details I will be happy to edit the additional information into this biography.
