Notes: Christine came from New York in 1914 on an Orphan Train to the St. Cloud area. She was taken in by the family at
  the age of two but never adopted. She grew up with the Jacob and Mary (Waldera) Kampa family in St. George, Benton, Minnesota.

On Jan. 12, 1920 at the time of the 1920 U.S. federal census, Christine was 8 years old and living with her "adopted" family of 50-year-old Jacob and 47-year-old Mary Kampa and their sons Adolph (age 24), Emil (age 23), Robert (age 21), and Valentine (age 15) on a farm in Saint George, Benton, Minnesota. Jacob was a farmer in general farming and his three youngest sons were laborers on the home farm; eldest son Adolph was working as a steam engineer. Valentine was the only one attending school at the time. Christine was not attending school and could neither read nor write.

As an adult Christine lived in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota. In 1941 she was 30 years old, single and working as a maid in St. Mary's Hospital in Minneapolis. The 1944 Minneapolis City Directory listed her as living at 2224 East Franklin Avenue, single and working in the kitchen at St. Mary's Hospital at age 33.

In 1992 she was living at 1717 Washington St. NE, Apt. 806 in Minneapolis. She died in Minneapolis at the age of 93, survived by her five sons, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and relatives. She was buried at the St. Elizabeth Church cemetery in Brennyville, Benton, Minnesota.
