Our eldest son Christ married Hans Wiegner's daughter, and lives about a mile from us and they have four children.

Susan, our elder daughter, is married to Christ Wagner, eldest son of widow Anna Wagner. They live a mile above us and have three children. A year ago, on New Year's day, they lost a young child.
