Agnes wrote a memoir for her grandchildren about her early life in Bohemia and the journey to Wisconsin. The family can still read it today.
Early Memories of Bohemia
A Memoir, From Bohemia to America Near the Turn of the Century
Written for my grandchildren
In her own written words, Agnes tells of Lipov, the little village where she was born and raised; of saying good-bye; of the ship and the Statue of Liberty; and of starting over near Brill and Rice Lake, Wisconsin. She wrote it, she says, even though “with little schooling and no practice in writing it’s going to be slow and hard, but all I can do is try.”
