A REFLECTION ON THE HISTORIC LIFE OF ANNA STRUTZEL I authored this story over 13+ years. During that time I got to know many family members I hadn't been aware of before I started. I was born in the town of Leavenworth Wa. in 1942 and the landscape is very similar to their old country Slovenia.
I am confidant that these ladies will aprove of this story and hope the many cousins will overlook any errors and omissions. Frazier

These young ladies left their home in Slovenia in March 1887 to travel to Bremen and then the voyage to New York, landed April 4, 1887 and on to Tower Mn. I have spent over 13 years researching this journey and have it as accurate as I can make it. As I wrote, at times I could feel my grandmother standing approvingly behind me like her hands were on my shoulder's. I know that is real as when I relate the losses I get very emotional. I love all of my ancestors and truly appreciate the sacrifices. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I. FRAZIER STRUTZEL
