familyimages > Escape From New Ulm! In approximately 1930, Ann Ohmann Bremer, the eldest daughter of Jobst Heinrich and Elizabeth Ohmann, wrote her memoirs and dedicated them to her granddaughter, Bernice Volkert Spomer, who was then nine years old. Anna died a few years later, but most of her story has been preserved and is presented as she told it so many years ago. "One day the Indians came near our place and my two brothers sat on the roof of the house and watched them. In the afternoon, about 3:00 o'clock, two Indians came on horseback. We threw everything down cellar to make it look as though we had moved. Then we all ran down to the woods and watched the cows so they wouldn't come up. We stayed behind the trees so the Indians couldn't see us. My mother took care of my little sister because she was crying; she was afraid the Indians would hear her. My brother climbed the tree and watched the Indians who looked around in the house and started away when they thought we had left. Toward night my father came from town; he had not seen an Indian. "In the evening we sat in the kitchen and talked over what had happened during the day. Suddenly, we heard a knocking at the door and we thought it was an Indian. My father went to the door and opened it, but to our surprise, it was only the dog scratching himself and hitting the door with his foot. It was a great relief after being scared stiff. Then my father got scared and we packed and started for town (New Ulm) with the wagon in the night, arriving in the dark. "There was a boarding house there where some people lived, and all the families were killed by the Indians. As we came into town we could hear the people scream. We found a house where we stayed, but we had little food. "One morning we all started away from New Ulm, with many others, on wagons drawn by horses. I saw lots of people dying in the streets. One empty house was left to put all the dead people in. Before we reached St. Paul we were all alone; most of the people got lost on the way. "We entered St. Anthony Hill in St. Paul. My father ran into town to find a place where we could stay and he found a family who took us in. Although my father found work, he couldn't find any dwelling place for us. "Finally, five miles across the bridge from St. Paul, he found an old log house and he came back to get us. It rained that day and I stood against the log house to keep from getting wet but I fell in the cellar. I worked myself out in the morning and as I looked in the hole where I fell in the night before I saw it was full of lizards. "Some people gave us an old stove and we started living there. My father and brother worked and got enough money together so we could buy a new stove. My father worked for a neighbor and my brother hired out to a farmer who paid him $13 a month. We lived a year and a half in the log house. My father had to cut 250 cords of wood and raise $250 before he could get the 80 acres which was offered to him, and he had to have the money on a certain day or the work would have been all for nothing. He got the money, borrowing from a neighbor and paid the amount. My father build a log house on the 80 acres and we lived there. He bought the windows and doors for $10 in St. Paul. Assisted by Henry, he made mortar and filled all the holes in the house where we lived for five years. "I worked out for $3 a month taking care of children on a farm because the mother had to work in the field. I was 12 years old at the time and I stayed there for one summer. I stayed in town and worked there. I walked nine miles every Saturday to school." Anna was just ten years old when the family fled from New Ulm and came to the first log house, which was reportedly located in Wescott Station. She married John Bremer in 1886, and had two children, John F. Bremer and Minnie Bremer Volkert, both of whom grew up at the Bremer home in the Hastings/Nininger area. Minnie married Herbert Volkert, one of the sons of John and Christina Franzmeier Volkert of Inver Grove. Minnie and Herbert's daughter, Bernice, was the recipient of her grandmother's memoirs so many years ago - a tale which must have thrilled and fascinated a modern young girl of the 1930's.
