ADDRESS:
February 1932, Lived at 1045 Adams St., New Castle, Pa.

EDUCATION:
Christine (Christina) received no formal education, but learned to read and write English on her own. Her father "was a (Methodist) Episcopalian preacher who came to America for religious freedom," as was stated in an unsigned, undated letter that was setting in a family book. "He joined the Episcopal German Church in Youngstown, Ohio. After moving to New Castle, Pa., The Evangelical German Church, now a part of the United Methodist Church. Christine was very premillenialist and fascinated her family with Biblical insights into the Book of Revelation and her rather modern predictions of a "United Rome," Armageddon and the Antichrist." In a recent (July 2000) interview with a couple of her (christine's) grandchildren, "fascinated" was not the word they would use. It was very painful to have to go to her house and sit very quietly with hands folded while they listen to her preach the bible and her predictions of Armageddon and the Antichrist, every time they seen her. They had not heard of her father (Ludwig) being a preacher although they knew of the unsigned, undated letter. We can only guess that Christine got her passion for religion from her father, whether he was a preacher or like Christine, a home preacher with a passion.
