Foreword
Hither and Yon is a scrapbook that my dad, Harold Krieger made for me when I was a baby. It was made of wood, with Hither and Yon in wooden letters on the cover. There were regular scrap book pages kept in place by a rawhide piece of leather. He saved birthday cards in it from my first birthday until I could enter them myself. It was always a treat to get out this rather big book and look at the cards and especially to see the signatures. I learned at a very early age that a signature was a way for a person to give a part of his or her self to another person.
I called this book Hither and Yon because I want it to be a family scrapbook. The words are my gift to each one of you. They are my signature to you. I hope you find enjoyment in the pages and you are able to renew some old memories that we share.
Many thanks to my sister, Dr. Nancy Krieger for hours of reading and many emails full of advice and suggestions. It made this project more fun because of being able to share my ideas and plans with her.
My daughter, Amy Iverson also deserves a bunch of thanks for computer help. I’ve learned a lot and she is a good teacher.
The little girl on the cover of this book is me at about age three with my Grandmother Krieger. As you read through the pages you will come full circle finding me at the end as the grandmother spanning four generations with three Great Grandchildren. May God bless you as you ponder these pages.
Enjoy,
Lois
Joseph and Eva Julien
I begin with Joseph and Eva Julien because they were my maternal grandparents. In ways this should be chapter one of this book. After all, Joe and Eva Julien were my maternal grandparents. I have a copy of their Certificate of Marriage which is dated January 21, 1913. My grandmother’s dress was made of white wool to be as warm as possible because they were married in Calumet Michigan in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. I think the temperature was at or below zero and rose to a balmy 10 degrees. I have been told that possibly before their marriage my grandfather worked in a gold mine in South Dakota. They lived in Calumet Michigan because my grandfather worked in a copper mine there.
I am not sure when they moved to the Detroit area but it was when my grandfather had gotten a job on the assembly line at Ford Motor Company on the Rouge River. He worked there until he died in 1954. I was twelve years old in 1954 and lived with my parents in Wickenburg Arizona. My mother went to his funeral but we all couldn’t go. My memories of my grandfather are happy ones and he is always smiling in the pictures we have of him. I found a touching tiny valentine card that my mother had sent to him that said, To daddy… love Marie.
I know he liked to go bowling and he bowled on a team from Ford’s. He also liked to fish and when he caught, cleaned, and cooked perch for us for supper, it was a treat! Dinner or not, grandpa would make us kids red pop
sodas. These consisted of red, or maybe root beer, soda with ice cream in it. I usually preferred my ice cream in a dish and soda (pop) in a glass. It took a while, but I eventually came around to liking the combination treat like everyone else.
Eva and Joseph had four children; Stuart, Marie, Ruth, and Paul. We don’t know much about Ruth because she died at a very early age. I have a large picture of Ruth that can’t be included in this book but you can see her in one of the family pictures at the end of this chapter. My mother, Marie, was very close to both of her brothers. She told us many times of going to the movies with Stuart and sharing ten cents with him. She said they would talk about how they would spend their money before they got to the theater. I guess popcorn was five cents. If they shared the popcorn then they had five cents left over for individual candy pieces. My mother preferred Mary Jane
chewy candy (two for a penny), and my uncle usually let her have four of them.
When their brother Paul was born a new bond was formed between my mother and him. He looked up to her as his big sister and he always called her Sis.
I have a copy of the letter he sent to her while he was in the Marines and the copper spoon from his mess
kit. The whole family was devastated when they learned that he was wounded and they eagerly waited for him to return home. He was awarded two Purple Hearts and many other medals of honor for his bravery and for all of his war efforts. We are all very proud of him!!
We were all surprised when my grandmother married John Larson. Unfortunately he died within their first year of marriage. My grandmother remained active as long as she could. I think her main idea of a good time was playing Bingo or playing a family game of Up and Down the River.
She usually won! Of course Gram
was very proficient at crocheting. She could make almost anything. It was good if she had a pattern to use, but if she didn’t, she made her own from the evening newspaper. She was a strong woman and being from Quebec, the French part of Canada, and whose maiden name was Beauchene. She spoke French and she never really forgot her first language. The clincher was that none of us spoke French until my sister learned it in school.
My grandparents were my God parents. They took me to Mass with them whenever I was staying with them. I am thankful for that and am sure that is
