Viola Laura Hoffmann Jeske
Viola was the youngest daughter in the Hoffmann family. Lee Eyrich recalls, “Aunt Viola was pianist for the Hoffmann girls trio. Had square grand piano. She was in charge of our birthday parties—games, favors, decorations—so Mom could concentrate on fancy lunch. ”She married Henry C. Jeske May 8, 1918 in New Ulm. They farmed near by until 1919 when they moved to Bloom Township, Stutsman County, North Dakota. Three of their four children were born there before they moved to a farm in Buchanan Township north of Jamestown in 1926.
