Description:
Born in Goetzville in 1929, Charlotte grew up in Munuscong (North of Raber) and in Goetzville. Her father did not farm, but worked as a mail man and as a county road worker. Her mother was a homemaker, who Charlotte says, “was always there for us.” Charlotte speaks about her home life, chores, family, school, and admits, “I must say Goetzville was a good place to grow up.”
Descriptive Note:
Documenting childhood in the rural Eastern Upper Peninsula, the Goetzville Oral History Collection Project, recorded thirteen stories of individuals who grew up in the region during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. The project, which took place in the spring of 2004, was funded by the Michigan Humanities Council and Raber Township, and was performed by Kathryn Schmitigal, with Barbara Schmitigal.
