• Notes

  While coming over to America by boat when she was less than a year old, Wilhelmine Boell ran a high fever. If the ship's medic or doctor thought any one had a communicable disease, the person would be thrown overboard to prevent the spread of the disease to others. Her parents obtained some ice from the ship's mess (kitchen) to pack in her crib to keep her temperature down and thus prevented Wilhelmine from running a fever with the ominous consequence.
