Description:
Born in 1921, Anna remembers listening to Bible stories her mother told as she stripped goose feathers for quilts and pillows. She recalled everyone walking to church and visiting along the road in Goetzville on Sundays.
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.
