A
Letter Home
|
In
1857, 35 year old carpenter Valentine Scheetz (Schütz) wrote a
letter to his brother Sebastian in Germany. The letter vividly
describes life in the farm community of Fulda, Ohio in the
mid-nineteenth century.
This
article by Willi Schütz appeared in the 5 Sep 2001 edition of Buchenblatter:
Beilage der Fuldaer Zeitung fur Heimatfreunde
("Buchenblatter: Supplement of the Fulda Newspaper for
Friends of the Homeland").
I
am indebted to the author, Willi Schütz, as well as to Dale Schott,
who brought this article to my attention. (Dale is the author
of The German Beginnings of
Fulda, Ohio.)
