Nani Teves' mother has volunteered to do oral histories of Chico Grange Elders. We are very greatful to her and here - to Julia Holderbein for taking part in this first, of hopefully several, oral histories.

Recorded: October 6, 2007

Julia Holderbein

My parents came from a little town in North Dakota, from a little town called Gackle, near Bismarck, about thirty miles southeast of Bismarck. I come from a German family, very German. The whole town, at one time, was German, except maybe five percent. A lot of Norwegians and Swedish people had their own communities when they came in. Most of the people were Lutherans and Congregationalists, and some Catholics. I think the English people were very few at that time. Later on, there were a lot of them.
