Details

Eva Katharina née Fisch was born in 1812 in Mingolsheim, Baden. In 1832 she married Johannes Walz, a successful local tradesman, and bore him a total of 14 children before he died on 16 Sep 1845. After the "Badian Revolution," she decided she'd had enough of the Old World and its political chaos, and in Mar-Apr 1851 she emigrated with her still living eight children (six had already died) to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The family moved to Minnesota several years later.

She found the American spirit suited her. She tried her hand at a number of different enterprises over the decades, increasing in scope as her children grew and eventually left home for enterprises of their own, out West. But when the Civil War erupted, she stayed well out of it, fearing a return to the chaos of her early years. Some of her children saw fit to enlist, however, most-notably, Albert, who made a name for himself in the Union Army as a scout.

After 60, she figured she had at least one good venture left in her before old age finally caught her up, and she moved out West herself, to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Albert had written of a place in the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado that reminded him, somehow, of the place they had left behind in Germany (he was only eight years old when they left), and she decided to go there and start a gasthaus—and maybe bring the family together again. These boom-towns would surely see a lot of visitors needing a place to stay. Since her arrival in Babylon in Apr 1877, she's been scouting out potential locations and attempting to organize capital, though she's come to realize the town seems to have lost its boom…
