She was a main character in a story mom told us about when Adela was 12 and mom was 5...it's included in this post from the Hesch History blog, and it revolves around this photo: Taken about 1920 when Adela was 12, it's her formal First Communion photo, and mom (Linda Janson) was her 'angel'. We also have the masthead photo, where Dela is first on the left. It was probably taken about 1921. Then, there's this photo, probably taken in the same decade I knew her best--Dela & Kilian owned the grocery store in Buckman across from the church. We bought it from them, made some changes in the store, and learned to make Zenner's Sausage. She and Kilian were always gracious and helpful, tho they really wanted to be done with the grocery business. BTW, that photo comes from this larger picture--probably from the late 70s.
