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 t!
o 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.
