| Abstract | The author grew up on a dairy farm in Central Wisconsin in a family where both parents were descended from Pomeranian immigrants, and this work provides many details of rural life in the Midwest. "Great-grandparents Ludwig and Emelia (Fehlhaber) Zamzow emigrated from Posen in 1856 and homesteaded in the Town of Berlin, Marathon County in 1868." Grandfather Otto Zamzow married Emma Helena Carolina Gramzow. His parents were Herbert August Zamzow and Mildred Lorna Louise Utech. DuWayne's married Gladys Ann Krueger, whom he has known from childhood. DuWayne and his brother Don were among the founding members of the Pommerscher Verein of Central Wisconsin, a group that celebrates the Pomeranian heritage and culture, with members performing traditional dance and speaking a regional Low German dialect. |
