Background of Michael and Christina, nee Stehr, Hein
"When they were first married they moved to the Heim Chutor which was said to have been near the Bersjon [Bersjohn, Beresan ] Borior [Border] which was owned by two Catholics, one being a Heim. Michael Hein bought 1/3 rd of the property.... Later, he sold his share and returned to live in Bordoino / Bess. S. Russia. He raised horses for the officers of the Tsar's Army as well as grapes. He had a huge cavern cellar where he held huge barrels made with American redwood supports and and oak..... Later in life he was in a solid financial position and loan money to other German-Russians. He dealt with the Lloyds Bank of London which had a branch in Odessa.
: "Every morning two servent girls would braid Christina's long golden hair and then twist it into a crown on top of her head." "She had a soft heart and would not wake up the servent girls and while they slept she would milk the cows. My father-on-law would scold Christina but she'd just smile and would let the girls sleep and milk the cows..." "How I loved my husband's mother for her kindess and good heart." "Her chothes closet was a splendid sight. She had 52 dresses made in Germany while visiting Ludwig's great grandfather's second family..... I remember because she had one Sunday dress for each Sunday of the year.....," Each dress and it's own own matching shoes of matching cloth or leather, purses also matched in material, parsels, gloves....." "The closet had been built special to accomendate Christine warerobe." "Many of the dresses had been sewn by popular semtresses in _____ [not known but thought Ludwigsburg], Germany when she and Michael visited family. "The clothes were of the latest European fashions of the time worn by the upper class ladies." "Her mother was Margaret, who was born in 1808 in Wuertemberg, had was part of the group who believed in the "Second Coming" of Christ...." It was believed that Christ was to appear back on earth on Mt. Araract in 1817. "Christine and her children attended the Lutheran Church in Borodino." "She was quite an indepent woman of her time. She made a deal with her husband that while he was gone each fall when it was time to harvent the grapes, she would be given the profit since she was the one making the decisions and making sure the grapes were properly handled. With her profit she would buy what she liked." "One year she had the local craftsmen make a new bed. The headboard held the carving of one of Michael's coat of arms." "I don't recall the actual coat of arms but I do recall it held the initials 'WGW' which "What God Wills"...." "It was with her grape profits that she purchased china dishes, a complete set of twelve, for each of her daughter-in-law before her sons were married. She had built a special china closet which held on the china dishes." " I had not collected because we had migrated to the USA and hoped to collect when we returned to Borodino. I always wanted to go home. I loved all my family and Borodino where I grew-up..." "One night, I dreamt all my china crashed to the floor. When I woke I told your grandfather that his mother had died." "Not long afterwards, we recieved word that she," [Christina], " had died." "All the old photographs of Christina and the others were lost on the train we had loaded or baggage and trunkswhen moving from Wyoming to Montana." They had missed the train because they had lost track of time .... But it was a small price because those who had gone on the train had died. It had been caught in a snow storm many of the passengers had froze to death..... "All of them are dead, now... How I cried when we left them... If we hadn't left, we would have died, too. The communists killed all the 'Kulacks" because they wanted our land, shops and our even the clothes off the backs of our family....." Too full of emotion over these sad memories, I shut off the recorder and plan to ask more questions during another visit with my grandmother who was already in her late 80s.
