Child of Ferdinand and Albertina Sukow Stern



       Amelia Stern Milbrad

 Amelia Augusta Wilhemina Stern was born on July 9, 1878 in Wurow, 

Kreis Regenwald, Koslin, Pommern, Prussia, the first daughter and child 

of Ferdinand and Albertina Stern.  At the age of seven she immigrated 

with her parents, two brothers and sister to the United States, arriving 

in Dexter Township Mower County, Minnesota in April 1885.  The 1885 

Minnesota State Census shows the family living in the village of Dexter.  

She spent the rest of her childhood in rural Mower County on the Stern 

family farm. She attended the parochial school next to the family church.  

She was confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in 1891. On December 2, 

1896, at the age of 18 she married Jay Milbrad.

   Jay was the son of August and Mary Jane Milbrad and was born on May 

31, 1861.  August was a German emigrant who came to Wisconsin before 

moving to Mower County, where he was a successful farmer and early 

settler.

  After their marriage Amelia and Jay lived in Windom, Minnesota.  They 

became the parents of three daughters and two sons: Ethel Mary was born 

May 14, 1898; Helen Alice was born July 14, 1901; Everett Jay was born 

July 24, 1902; Herbert William was born January 25, 1907 and Bernice 

Elsie was born September 15, 1910.  The four oldest children were born in 

Minnesota and their youngest daughter was born in Washington. The family 

later lived in Bell, California.  Jay died in California on July 9, 1944.  

Amelia died 25 years later on May 12, 1969 at the age of 90 years and is 

buried in California.
