In 1906 Albert lived in San Francisco when his wife became ill with TB and he took her to Illinois to his family. While he was there he lost everything to the 1906 quake. They lived in Illinois when Albert's wife died. He left Amanda with them until he met and married Grandma Knox (Johanna) . Later his parents came to live in California (1920 they lived in Compton, CA. In 1910 he was a gate tender in Ill.) It is said that Christina brought Amanda first and Chris came later. They built a house on the square in the city of Westminister. Grandma Bert said she would climb a tree and pretend to be pirates. She said she could always talk to her Grandmother Christina. Albert and Johanna took her to live with them in Oregon after Christian died. She was blind by then. Her great grandkids remember her having marshmellow's for them tucked away in a drawer. She died in 1945 in Springfield Oregon and is buried with Christian in Westminister Memorial Park in Orange County, California.
This painting was found by Christina's gggg granddaughter Carrie on the internet. Thanks Carrie !
