Katherine worked for the Lewis women for about 3 years, quitting when they
moved their base of operations to a house where the Family Theatre now stands
and where they thought they could make some money (the Columbia Hotel wasn't
a successful business). In the new location the bedrooms were on the 3rd floor,
and the dining room and kitchen on the 2nd. Katherine was afraid of some of the
men and kept the door locked when she was working but her mother decided it
wasn't the place for her anyway.

Meanwhile Katherine had met her husband.  His family lived on Fifth Street and
he was 18 at the time, working at Deinzer's chair factory.  They frequently met
while going to and from work and started a casual friendship as they went along.
The friendship continued for 5 years as they didn't want to marry until they had
a house of their own. Katherine had an old trunk her father had brought from
Germany into which she started to put the crocheted and embroidered things she'd
made.

She spent $25 of her hard earned savings to buy a bicycle so she could join
Conrad and some of their young friends in riding around town.

Conrad played cornet in Eber's band.

By 1902 they had made their first payments on the house where they were to
live all their married life.

Lincoln School Areas	There was a warehouse just east of the house - a blacksmith
shop - and just east of it was the smaller school that preceded Lincoln School.

On 1st Street, near the firehouse, there was a cement horse trough to which
the farmers took their thirsty horses. The Zarend children used to love to stand
around it and watch.

Not long after Zarends moved to the neighborhood, Uncle Roggelin bought the
old stone jail, tore it down, and build houses in the vicinity of its location.

During Prohibition a bootlegger carried on a flourishing business in his
garage just south of the Zarends house - until he was sent to prison.	

The Randall Sisters ran a millinery shop in the little building just was west
of the Park Hotel Park in the early 1900's,

An old German "horse doctor" named Lebke (sp?) was the nearest thing to an
M.D. in the early days at the Sandy Creek - Holy Ghost area.	Rosa said he was
called mainly to pull teeth.  Midwives did most of the obstetrical work - Rosa
had them for all but the last of her dozen or so children, the last one being
born when she was 46 - a not unusual age in their family to have babies, however,
she says.
