Carl and Grace: From the Bavarian Forest to Cabbage Hill

by Tom Wolf

Overview

Carl Wolf and Grace Hecker lived in a changing world, one of acute dislocation, migration, factories, cities, assimilation, and world war. In 1872, Carl was born in a poor mountain village in the Bohemian Forest. After years working as a farm servant in Bavaria, in 1904 he emigrated to America. Grace Hecker was born in the Bavarian Forest. After uprooting repeatedly, at the age of eight she emigrated with her family to America. In the ethnic enclave of Cabbage Hill, they found jobs, changed careers more than once, and raised a family.
