Sophia never learned to read or write English
Sophia immigrated to the US when she was 15 years old. She lived in New York City for two years before moving to Grundy County, Iowa.
In the 1895 census, Sophia was living in German Township, Kossuth County, Iowa (p. 226). Her spouse, Berend (Benjamin) had passed away the previous September at age 50. Living with Sophia were her children: Dedrick, Susan, Berend II, Heiko, Maria, Stenia, Fritz and Reca. She was likely pregnant with her daughter Lena born sometime in 1895. At this point, the two oldest children were no longer in school and most likely were working the farm with their mother.
In 1902, Sophia and family moved to Herman (Logan County), Minnesota. In the 1905 census, she and all nine of her children were living in the same place. In the 1910 census the familiy was still in Herman, MN. Susan, Berend II (Benjamin), Heiko and Maria were no longer with the family though. Fritz, at age 20, was listed as still being in school. The Census also indicates that he was born deaf and dumb.
