Walter P Galarno 1854-1925

Eva Frederick was born in May or September 2, 1857. Her father is listed as being born in Prussia and her mother’s birthplace is given as New York.

(One letter says Walter and Eva came from Canada in 1869 at the ages of 11 and 14. One letter says that Eva was born in Michigan.)

Following her husband’s death, Eva moved in with her daughter, Edna Kahl, in Mt. Horeb where she died on October 27, 1940. Eva lived part of the time with her other children but came to stay with John and Edna Kahl when they lived on the Sutter Farm in Spring Valley near Mt. Horeb, WI. Prior to her death Eva lived on a very small pension and did not have much to share. She would sit and knit mittens and socks, and she always wore an apron. Eva called a frying pan a spit and is remembered to have said; “If you are as pretty on the inside as on the outside you would be perfect”.
