Leafy voice of my Catherina Christena Rath
A motherless teen immigrant of Trossingen, Germany
Sailing by herself at age 14 to an unknown land
A domestic servant in Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Marrying John Carl Eberle, a Copper Country native son
By 1901 raising a sweet son and a devoted daughter
My Great Uncle Herm was the only one of his family I knew
A 1921 college hockey star player and a mining engineer
He moved to Chicago for his work at the 1933 World's Fair
His younger and only sibling was Merney Agatha Augusta
Loving mom to her only child, my dad, Jack Coyne Ireland
Connecting always with their eternal love through me
Guiding me from Tir Na Nog~~~Land of Eternal Youth

You loving great-grandson, John
