• Obituary - Rosina Zoss Bohn born Feb 14, 1866. She spent most of her early childhood in the home of her Uncle Christ Zoss. At the age of 16 years she worked in Geneva, Switzerland. When she was 18 years old she returned to Ostermudigen to her mother's home. However she spent most of her time working in Bern. A few years after her mother's departure to America she decided to accompany her brother Fred and wife to the new land. Consequently in March 1888 she began her life in America by working for Christ Risser. After a few years she met a young farm hand who came from Alsace Lorraine a few years before. ^[3]
