    Ohlhausen, Nathalia König
    This is the life story of Nathalia "Dolly" König who married Henry Ohlhausen in 1917, written well after her death from information gathered from many sources. One of those sources was notes taken down by her daughter-law, Thelma Vetter Ohlhausen.

    Growing up in the family and at times living with my grand parents, I had no idea of the hardships that she endured until I decided to tell her story.

    I hope you also agree that it is a story worth telling.

    God Bless you, Grandma
