That was your grandmother Ara Belle’s grandfather. His daughter was Marie Christensen Fuller. (either uncle or father………probably father). There was an Albert Christensen Jr., to who was married to a gal named Alice and had a daughter named Jane. I knew all of them. They lived in Campbell, Nebraska where your grandmother went to high school. It is in north Franklin County east of Hastings, Nebraska. They have a daughter named Vicki Goracky (spelling?) and her brother Ronnie Christensen who still lives on the ranch north of Campbell. Jane was probably your grand mother’s closest friend / cousin. She passed away just a year or so before and that electric wheelchair in the garage, mother had bought for her. They returned it thinking your grandmother would use it.
The Mary Ginsbach is correct, too. She was my dad’s aunt. The attorney your grandmother used in Hot Springs was her grandson. I met some relatives once with Aunt Ida and Mary in Hot Springs I only saw the one time. The Pringle people did not go to Hot Springs very often. One weekend, they did and I happened to be along for the ride. I think it was one of her kids. Mother did not know them so we never visited them again.
The Zeimets listed are all correct. Bud was the oldest child. He died of pneumonia. Peter was UNCLE PETE. Michael was the dad and husband of Grandma Grace. I guess he was a drunk. Uncle Pete just sat on a chair and mumbled. I think he spoke only German (or Luxembourgish)…………….or primarily so. – pz
