Family Notes

 

To us, our Grandmother, Edith Lubner--Possley was a very strong, upright and Prussian kind of woman.  She came to this country when from  Breslau (Now Wroclaw) when she was about 3 years old.  Her determination made her a one room school teacher in Eidsvold and Curtiss until she married Charles Possley, a cheesemaker and eventual owner of the Thorp Dairy, that became the Blue Moon and then Foremost in Thorp.  Edith was a charter member of the Ladies' Group that founded the Thorp Library.
