. . . As Mary Diehl, Mrs. Schukraft was born April 9, 1863, in Kaiserslautern, Bavaria. When a young lady she came to America to join her family who had preceded her sometime before and settled in Texas. While making the voyage she celebrated her twentieth birthday anniversary at sea on Easter Sunday. Fifty-four years later her birthday again fell on Easter day and was celebrated in her home here.
Landing in New York, she came by rail to Houston, here she joined her family. Travel sixty years ago was quite different to the streamlined and airconditioned methods of today, and Mrs. Schukraft, unable to speak a word other than her native tongue, found the way rather difficult as she was routed via many detours, among which were desolate waits through the old Indian reservations, now the state of Oklahoma. . . .
