Mary Heichelbech
Mary William "Bill" Heichelbech (née) Knott, aka Dot. Seen here at the St. Meinrad Abbey in Indiana in 1923. She was my grandmother and I had never seen her at this age before. I love her outfit and her smile.
Wallace Heichelbech told me that she was both beautiful and stylish. He married her when she was 28. She was called Dot because she was born prematurely and was "no bigger than a dot". Her first bed was a cigar box on a chair near the kitchen range. She told me this herself.
