Notes For Alexander Leiker:
Alex had a severely damaged heart with leakage of the valves causing the heart to enlarge to double its normal size. He had rhemumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and artculate in whatever he started. The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if one forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipling his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience.The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would procede to work again. After Christmas he developed psnumonia and died January 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer.

Notes for Christina Enslinger:
Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed stor operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeepr for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired.Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christinya." She had ten children of which the first was still-born after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised nine children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would betcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in one day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many yers grew three acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had six sons and a husband. Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used a gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine.
