Christina was the sixth of nine children of Karl Stadel (1820-1893) and Katharina Knöller (1828-1896) of Beresina, Bessarabia (South Russia), both of whose parents had migrated from Baden, Germany. Christina and all of her siblings were born in Beresina. Christina's paternal grandparents were Georg Gottlieb Stadel (1792-1855) and his first wife Anna Maria Margarete Mutschler (1794-1829). Her maternal grandparents were Michael Knöller (1791-1845) and Katharina Ruff (1828-1896). All four grandparents were from Baden, Germany.
On 12 Feb. 1881 in Kloestitz, Bessaria, Christina married the widower Johannes Anton Anhorn. She was 24 years old. (Note: one family tree says her marriage occurred in 1872, when she was only 15 years old, but her husband's first wife was still alive then.) Johannes' first wife Anna Maria Rothacker had died in 1880; of her seven children, only two were still living when their father remarried. Christina and Johannes had eight children, the first six of whom were born in Beresina. When they emigrated to America in April of 1894, only their son Christian was not with them, as he had died in infancy a few years earlier. The family arrived at Ellis Island on 12 April 1894 and immediately migrated to North Dakota to take up a homestead claim in Manfred Township, Wells County. Two more children, Christian (Christ) and Ottilia, were born in North Dakota.
In 1900, the family were in Highland, Wells County, ND. That census inaccurately designates that all of them were born in "Russia," though 5 year old Christ and three year old "Odelia" were born in North Dakota. The census of 1910 finds the parents and their four youngest children in the "Highland School District" and correctly indicates that Christian and Ottilia were born in ND. Gottlieb and Christian are working the farm with their father; Christina is working as a servant; and Ottilia is at home. Christian and Ottilia are still in school. The whole family are literate.
In 1915, the North Dakota state census records the family as John (age 68), "Christine" (58), Christ (20), Tillie(18), Lillie (5), and Adolf (1). Lillie and Adolf were Christina and Johannes' grandchildren, the daughter and son of Friedrich Henry Anhorn, whose wife Odelia Zarbock had died in 1914, the year of Adolf's birth. Adolf was soon after adopted by Knute and Margaret Berge Hippe and renamed Leo Kenneth Hippe. Melita Lillian (Lillie) returned to live with her father, who remarried in 1916..
Christina predeceased her husband by almost 15 years; after her death, he lived successively with the families of some of their children.
