Contributor's Notes: Mabel Mae (HALL) FOSTER is my grandmother. Her 
parents were Jacob HALL (1849-1934)  and Wilhelmina (ZILIUS) HALL 
(1853-1940) both of whom were born in Wurttemberg, Germany. Mabel was 
the thirteenth birth of Minnie (ZILIUS) HALL. Children 12 and 14 were 
babies who died. So Mabel was the last of 12 children. This information 
is from a family document I found in the possession of my mother.
