laska Goering

Birth and death dates for this young child are unknown but it is known that she died at a very early age. While playing, she fell off of a wagon tongue, injuring her back, and died of spinal meningitis. Some of her mannerisms during her short life were inexplicable to her parents and siblings. Her sister Blanche Goering said "she would drap herself with material to fashion a sort of shawl, and then would go from room to room, kneel down and silently recite prayers". She had received no tutoring to do this. (wab)
