........"On Dec. 3, 1890, the Fredecks acquired 2 acres of land adjoining their acerage to the south. The land was deeded to Rosalie by M. Manniwitz and his wife, Bertha, out of gratitude for Rosalie nursing Bertha Manniwitz through a long illness. The Manniwitz lived a great distance to the NE and Rosalie walked across the pastures to help her."..... (following is a lot of information on their house etc)
... She was a thrifty woman and saved much of the food the truck patch produced. She raised geese, which she plucked for soft featherbeds and pillows. Some of these are still in the family...... A spinning wheel was brought from the old country, and here Rosalie spun and made clothing for her family.
... Rosalie Fredeck drove herself about the country in her own buggy.
... On Nov 11, 1891, a disastrous fire broke out in a haystack near the site of the first Fredeck home. Joseph (called Little Joe), was fatally burned. Rosalie faught valiantly to save her son. Her hands were severly burned and Dr. Jim Alexander feared that amputation was the only answer. This stout hearted pioneer woman said an emphatic No. She would not permit it. Her hands healed and she used them the remainder of her life.
