An Indian lady taught my grandmother how to cut and sew from a pattern made with a string or cord. For instance, she measured sleeve length, neck to shoulder -tied a knot and then sleeve length and waist -also skirt length -all by tying knots. The Indian lady was called Omaha Mary. She spoke English and was from the Omaha Tribe. Grandfather drove his oxen to Omaha for supplies (Approx 50 miles). It took him 2 days. At night he stopped to rest beside the road, built a bonfire to keep the wolves away. One instance Grandmother made potato pancakes for Grandfather. Two Indian ladies were visiting Grandma. They ate the pancakes nearly as fast as Grandmother baked them. Grandfather returned from his long trip to Omaha and asked, "Is this all the dough you have left?" She said, "Yes", Indian ladies said, "Heap a good". On another trip Grandfather bought bib overalls for himself. On the way home an Indian was walking and wanted a ride. Grandfather teased him - drove father - stopped and left him walk again. Finally felt sorry for him, so stopped and waited for him. When they got home the bib overalls were gone. Next morning here comes the Indian dressed in the overalls and smiling. He did return them. I well remember my days with Grandmother. She owned a a grey horse and drove to visit her children for a week or so. She told me to go back home with her. When we got to her house, she placed the lines in my hands and said "Now you take 'Jim' (horse) home -he is yours. I will not need him anymore." In 2 weeks she had a stroke and died. This was in 1913. Her funeral was at Logan Creek Church which we all attended. Mrs. George Kriebel and my mother taught Sunday School. My father walked to church when it was cold and started fire in the stove. Our Pastor drove out from Hooper with a horse & buggy. Our special event was the Christmas Program. Joe Stecher and my Dad always put up the tree with real candles. Did they ever watch the candles! They had a pail of water with a sponge in the end of a ten foot stick to put out the candles that were burning low. My Dad made a 3-tiered candelabra which was lit on Christmas Eve. The first tier was 3 foot in diameter, the second was 2 feet, and the last was 1 foot in diameter. It was beautiful when all 3 tiers were lit. Note - These memories were typed from a hand written copy given to me by Marian Schafersman Moseman in September, 1992. The authors's Grandfather is George Wagner Jr. and the author's Grandmother is Rosena Uehling Wagner. Her father is John Pueppke, and her mother is Rosine Wagner Pueppke. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Hooper Sentinel August 19, 1926 Page 1 Hooper Boy Married to North Dakota Girl On Thursday, August 12, occurred the wedding of Miss Rosalie Pueppke and Lester Schafersman at the Zions Lutheran church of Amenia, N.
