She was born March 5, 1892 at Ellinwood, Kansas, and moved with her parents, Frantz and Maria Hildebrand, to Stafford, Kansas, in 1906.

  This is what I copied from the tape Ben Fritzemeier is interviewing the charter members.
  Anna (Hildebrand) Lichte
  I am very thankful that I can be here today. I am very thankful I can tell you Jesus saved me. My parents came to this country. I often feel that the Lord led him to come here because he was converted on the ship on the way here. In Germany he was a very worldly man and Mother didn't know what to do any more. She was so discouraged about things. He came home one day and asked how about going to America with these people. She said she thought a little bit and that is the best thing they could do. They packed up their things, no money. How could people undertake to make a trip like that without any money? I don't think I could have but they did. She went home to her folks. She walked home to her folks got money. I don't know how far it was. They got to PA and from there they borrowed enough money to get to KS. He raised all of his family in a Christian way. We were all baptized in the German church there. Eleven children and I thought he done a good job and I thank the Lord for that and everyday I pray. In my younger days we had our daily devotions with our family. I hope you all have your daily devotions with your family. It didn't mean much to me. I went out and wondered around in the fields. Pretty soon father came and got me. He said, "Why didn't you stay for the devotions?" I didn't know what to say. I thought I was going to get punished. But I wasn't punished but I think the rest of the others must have been because they all had to wait there until I got there and then we had devotions. So he had to hunt the one that was lost. I often think of that. He took care of his family and I pray that you all will do the same, put your trust in the Lord and he will take care of you and your needs. My own family--I had 5 children--first one died in infancy and then the Lord blessed us with twins. So far there had not been many twins in the family but he took care of that. So we had our two boys and we raised them as you all know. One of the boys has gone home and then I had 2 daughters. We were married December 20, 1911. We drove to church with Bay horses in a lumber wagon. We would put some straw in the lumber wagon. Usually mother had a sandwich prepared for us because it took a long time to get here. I was a charter member of the church. I was baptized in 1906. The church was organized in 1909.
  Ben Fritzemeier said: The first pastor was a Lutheran. He came to us. He didn't stay too long. They used to have these phone lines where there would be 10 or 12 on a line. One day, this was in time of prohibition, he had a call there is a package in here labeled books and would you come and get it before long because it is leaking. He didn't stay very long.
  Anna Lichte again: The ship was ready to pull out and one of the children was missing. At the last minute they found her. That was Martha.
  Ben Fritzemeier: Who was the child older than you?
  Anna Lichte: Henry. Your (Ben Fritzemeier's) parents had Henry for quite a while. Mother was sick and your folks took Henry. He was a baby and at that time you didn't raise babies on bottles and she took Henry. She (Marie, wife of Henry F. Fritzemeyer) was nursing and she had Henry and nursed him too. And that is how Henry was raised. He stayed there quite a little while. She (Mother) was sick and when she was well enough they wanted him back again. Oh it was hard for your mother to give him up but she did. She was attached to him.
