Marie attended the North Star School until the eighth grade when she was needed at home to care for her younger brothers and sisters.

She also helped her Father during harvest. She would punch the header on the combine and sometimes harrow after seeding. One year her Father gave her a special camera for her help. Some years she would work in the cook house.

She told about one of the combines that had a leveling device that did not always hold. It would let the machine tip over or partially tip over.

Marie was a very private person and a perfectionist. She loved to read. When she was young, she would sneak books into the hayloft when she had to move hay to the back of the barn. She quoted poetry often. She was known to have very bad migraine headaches.

She loved to have a garden. It was also her job to milk six to eight cows so there would be cream to sell. She also sold eggs, dressed chickens, and garden produce.

She loved to care for baby and sick animals, often curing them when no one else could. She was not fond of cooking but made delicious meals on little.

In the winter of 1927, Will was on jury duty in Lincoln County. One evening a gang of bootleggers came and stayed awhile. They left but one stayed behind and Marie kept a fire going all night so he would be warm while he slept in the chair. The others came back for him in the morning. She did not know who they were.

Another time, probably in the 1970's, a neighbor lost calves in the winter and said they had strayed down the canyon but could not find any of them. So he came with the sheriff to inspectall of the buildings. Will was feeding and they could not find any live or butchered animals. Marie escorted them around the property. The next spring the calves were found in the corner of the neighbor's field dead. They had chewed through the fence posts.

In 1980, Marie was bitten by a rattlesnake by the wood pile. She called the ambulance and received treatment at the hospital. She took almost a year to recover.

She was a member of the Grange. Later in life, she lost most of her eyesight.

Claus came to the US because he did not want to serve in the German Army. The Kaiser signed a paper granting him permission to go to the US.

He emigrated on the Vessel LESSING from Hamburg, GER. on May 3, 1882 and arrived in New York, NY. on May 18th at the age of fifteen (GERMANS TO AMERICA PASSENGER LISTS, Ira Glazier and Robert Philby). He then came to the Omaha, NE. area on May 27th and worked on farms near Millard, NE. at one time for the grandparents of Leigh School Principal, Mrs. William J. Dunn.

When he arrived in Omaha, NE., there were about 500 people living there. 16th and Farnum Streets had mud holes and board walks. He had $3.00.

According to a note received by Vera Ehlers Hardung, he carried a six shooter as he walked from Richland to Leigh to keep the wild dogs away.

He came with his father, mother, and brother to Wilson Precinct, Colfax County, NE where his parents purchased land about four miles south and one mile east of Leigh. He bought another farm in 1904.

Through the years he worked hard like many other pioneers and acquired more land. The farms were lost in the Great Depression of the 1930's. President Roosevelt closed the First National Bank of Leigh with the "Banker's Holiday Act" where Claus and daughter Katie had their savings. It never reopened. The Bank of Leigh succeeded it. Originally , the First National Bank was started as the Maple Valley Bank and J. H. Wuerdemann was one of it's organizers. Later it was consolidated with the Farmer's and Merchant's Bank and then became the First National Bank.

A story related by son Will Ehlers in 1981- When he and his Dad would go to town, they would go into the saloon. The bartender would call out,"What do you need today, Claus?" His reply would be,"Your best whiskey!" The gallon jug would be filled up with thirty year old whiskey and the charge would be $1.50.

In 1999, his Daughter, Lena Ehlers Sellers related how her father, Claus, had a bobsled and when someone would die in Leigh and had to be buried at St Paul's Lutheran Church, southwest oftown, Claus and three or four men would then ride the bobsled into Leigh and pick up the body in the casket. They then, with four men, would balance the casket on the bobsled, and take itback south to the church for the funeral.

Grandson Bill Ehlers writes-
"I remember when Grandpa was buried. Dad and I stayed at the cemetery after everyone else went back to the church basement to eat lunch. At the age of nine years old, I got to see for thefirst time how a casket was placed into a grave. Seeing the men lower the casket was a sight I never forgot."

Marie emigrated, at the age of sixteen, to the United States aboard the Vessel SUEVIA, which traveled from Hamburg, GE. and arrived at the port of New York, NY. on March 13,1892. She had traveled with her sister, Anna, age twenty. The Ship's Passenger List shows her name to be MARIE WOLFF. (HAMBURG PASSENGER LISTS, band 42). The last words their Father told them were, "FORGETTEN NE YOUR GOTT". (Do not forget your God).

She worked near Millard, NE. where she met her future husband, Claus. She crocheted a lot especially when she came from Germany and was lonesome. She also would go out and look at the stars at night and remember that her family in Germany were looking at the same stars, per grand daughter Lorraine Ehlers Bahr.

She always worked hard. She raised a lot of chickens. By treating the floors of her house with hot boiled linseed oil she worked them into having a hard shiny finish.

Her daughter, Lena, said she had a wonderful childhood. Marie and her girls would take long walks in the fields in the evening.

Her daughter, Katie, said she never tasted apple coffee cake and sour cream cookies like her Mother made.

Her son, Will Ehlers told of mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks in the fields. Marie only made yeast-type breads. He had never eaten baking powder biscuits until after he was married.

Her grand daughter, Vera Ehlers Hardung relates how when she was young, her Grandmother would pick feathers from live geese for pillows. Her youngest son, Art Ehlers also remembered the goose feather pillows.

In 1956, Marie had not heard from her brother or three sisters in Germany since WW II. She also related to Vera Ehlers Hardung that one or two of her nephews were Russian Prisoners of Warin WW II.

Grand daughter Sharon Wiebold Chaulk remembered Marie usually wearing a bandana tied around her neck. When Sharon's family would visit her Grandparents, sometimes on Sunday afternoons, Marie would usually answer the door and say," Where'd you come from?"

Marie did not like the color pink.

Her grandson, Bill Ehlers remembers, "When we used to visit Grandma and Grandpa, she would always be working on crochet projects. I have one of her table cloths. It is beautiful and people still admire it".

Grand Daughter Lorraine Ehlers Bahr related that when Marie crocheted and her hands became stiff, she would place them inside the warm water tank on the wood stove to make them feel better.?
