Sommerer Family Website
Good enough for who it's for
My mom sent these to me and told me to put them on the website. Since you have to do what your mom tells you to do, here they are:
I think Aunt Cleo decoupaged these several decades ago. Were they hanging on the wall in the dining room in grandma’s house? Here’s the PDF document that my mom sent to me if you need a night quality print. Bonus points is anyone wants to translate them for us.
The conservation program application (in white) is from 1967, but the photo that was included in the application is from 1942. I also included the letter that detailed the program down below. As always, click on the images to see a larger version.
You’re right, that picture of the farm is confusing. Mostly because it is wrong. whoever cut the photo out of the larger picture just missed a few lines here and there. I added the actual outline of the farm to the picture. Then, for good measure, I did the same outline on a modern picture of the farm.

My earliest memory of my mother, Teresa, was how every child had a job. Marjorie was responsible for looking after me. Marjorie also made clothes such as dresses or shirts for Cleopha. My favorite memory to share about my mother is one time we were playing a game of hide and go seek after supper. Beatrice decided to stand on a five-gallon bucket in a dress, which hung all the way down to the floor to wash dishes.
