Notes

Transcript of a copy of the christening record for Theresia Rosa Link as translated from the German by Ken Smith: 3/85. Therese Rosa, daughter of Herr Julius Link and his legal wife, Elizabeth Ekstein, born 22 February, 1897 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Baptized 6 June 1897 by the undersigned Christen Merkel. Witness: Rosa Link Seal: St. Matthews Evangelical Lutheran Church at Philadelphia. The seal imprinted on the original document as translated by Matthias Seifert is: German Evangelic Lutheran Mathew Community (of) unaltered Augsburgh(ish) Confession of Philadelphia, 1891. This would have been a very traditional sect at the time as the Augsburgh Confession was the first Lutheran written set of standards presented to the Roman Emperer in 1530. (E, F-109)

Theresia volunteered as a member of the Red Cross Motor Corps during World War II. She died of a brain tumor in her 50's and was greatly missed. She was said to be a very gentle woman who was able to raise a large family without ever raising her voice. She is buried in Lot #381, Section 27 of Calvary Cemetery, in Erie, Pennsylvania.
