My dear mother.
Go your way to the land of the Ancestors,
where they wait for you with open arms, there on the edge between this world and the next.
See; there they stand.
Ancestral spirits, welcome this one
to the place where we all must go.

Some notes of Elizabeth Jane Nilsson Foster written in 1976 at Santa Barbara, California:
I was born in Fremont, Nebraska, September 17, 1899. We moved to South Omaha when I was about three years old. In Fremont my Dad and my mother's sister's husband Uncle Frank Bullock had co-owned a furniture store which sold very fine furniture. When people couldn't afford it any more the store had to be closed.
We lived at 1304 South 28th Street, South Omaha. We rented a nice house with four bedrooms for about $18.00 per month, no inside toilet. It had a bathtub but no hot water. The tub was painted metal inside and out and the paint kept peeling off. We kept chambers inside for use at night. We had to heat water in a boiler on the range in the kitchen and carry by buckets to the bathroom. The house and all other houses in the neighborhood were torn down to put in an interstate highway.
When I was twenty two or twenty three years old we moved from South Omaha to 4232 Pacific Street in Omaha.
Cecilia Schlich Tregay wrote that "I just remember her as a little girl going to school and she let me play with her doll house she had. She must have been maybe twelve or thirteen years old. She seemed to wear a sailor dress and a great big ribbon in her hair."
