In 1880 Anton and Crescentia were living on a rented farm in Clear Lake,
Sherburne County, with their seven children. By 1900 Anton and Crescentia were living in Minneapolis with two of their children -- Mary, a seamstress,
and Anna, a "tobacco stripper."
On April 28, 1910, Annie was 20 years old and living with her husband George, their two sons and her widowed mother Crescentia Stimmler in Robbinsdale Village, Hennepin, Minnesota. She stated both her father and mother were born in Germany [they were in fact born in France]. George was working as the manager of a wholesale house [Source: 1910 U.S. Census, Robbinsdale, Hennepin, Minnesota; Roll T624_699, Page 7B, Enumeration District 5]. Robert R. Mullally reminisces about his Uncle George and Aunt Annie: "UNCLE GEORGE AND AUNT ANNIE, WE AFFECTINGLY REFERRED TO THEM AS OUR RICH AUNT AND UNCLE, FOUNDED THE AMERICAN LINEN LAUNDRY COMPANY IN MPLS WITH THE STEINERS. THEY STARTED THE COMPANY IN THE EARLY 1900'S WITH THE TWO MEN PUSHING HAND CARTS PICKING UP RAGS FROM MANUFACTURING PLANTS, THE WOMEN WOULD THEN WASH THEM THE RAGS, AND THEN THE MEN WOULD DELIVER THE WASHED RAGS AND PICK UP THE NEXT LOAD. AMERICAN LINEN DEVELOPED INTO ONE OF THE LARGEST UNIFORM, BEDDING, INDUSTRIAL SMOCKS, AND WIPE RAG BUSINESS IN THE COUNTRY." from a January 3, 2005 e-mail |
