Herta and Rita (Margarete) Rempel by X-mas tree

This photo is of Herta, at left, born in 1905 and her sister Rita (Margarete), at right, born in 1903, sit beneath the decorated Christmas tree in their home with their dolls and other Christmas presents around them. The Christmas tree had real candles. The other decorations on the tree were homemade and consisted of nuts and homemade cookies. These girls were the daughters of Dietrich and Anna (Wiens) Rempel, Elfrieda (Gossen) Dyck’s grandparents and Rita was the mother of Elfrieda (Gossen) Dyck. Anna (Wiens) Rempel was born in Bachmut and likely both of her daughters were born there as well. It is not known when the family moved to Halbstadt.
