Ethel said she always praying and had peppermints in her jacket.

Both my Grandparents on the Yager side and Herzberger side came from Germany. In those days the father and mother chose the wife and husband for their children. Grandmother Yager (Eva) did not want to marry Grandfather Yager (Adam). After the wedding she hid in the corn patch in a shock of corn. Everybody was worried about Grandmother after she didn't show up after the wedding but Grandfather said when she gets hungry she'll come out.. Well the third day she came home and they started their married life together.
