| Abstract | Sylvia’s father, Otto Emil Plath, grew up in the small town of Grabow in that part of East Prussia known . . . as the Polish Corridor. His grandparents had earlier emigrated to America and settled on a farm near Watertown, Wisconsin. Learning that their grandson was a bright and promising student, they invited him to come to America and offered to send him to school at Northwestern College in Watertown, provided he would promise to prepare himself for the Lutheran ministry. As Sylvia’s mother, Aurelia, told the story, Otto arrived in New York at the age of sixteen, lived there with an uncle for a year, then went on to his grandparents’ home in Watertown and entered Northwestern College. |
