She immigrated to America with her parents and her family with her parents and her family when she was 13 years old. Since that time she has always lived near Bruno. Her marriage to Jacob Stava took place in Sts. Peter and Paul church in Abie in 1884. Two sons, Emil F. and Adolph T.,and one daughter, Agnes, were born to this union.
