Through the generosity of members of the Schulzke family, Keepa is permitted to post photographs to accompany Friedrich Schulzke: “It Fell to My Lot to Guide the Little Branch.”

in which Friedrich kept records of the Memel Branch.
This page indicates that meetings were canceled on 21 March 1915 because of Russian invasion;
the following week, meetings were held as usual.

This Latter-day Saint woman, nearly 85 years old, died as a refugee somewhere in Lithuania or Poland,
fleeing the Russian army and trying to reach the comparative safety of Berlin,
where Friedrich’s daughter Marta lived.
