and their children
George and Eva Winkler Sitzman came to the United States in the 1880s and ended up in Plattesmouth, NE working for the railroad. One of their sons, George Sitzman married Anna Didlo, of a 1st generation French family in St. Joe. One of their sons, Lawrence, married Becky Roberts of Elk Creek. They were my parents.
George and Eva lived in Plattesmouth. Their son George lived in Cedar Creek, a little town near Plattesmouth, Nebraska, later in St. Joe, and then spent their remaining years in Auburn, Nebraska.

This is the Burlington House, a railroad hotel built by George Sitzman for his wife Eva so that she would have an income in her old age. In front are members of their family. I recognize Eva 3rd from left, next to her right is her daughter Mary, probably with her husband and their daughter Violet. Son George John and wife Anna are the last 2 in the back row, with their first 4 children, Lawrence, twins Margarette & Marie, and Ferrel.
Photo Sitzman 2. The local historical society had no information about the hotel when contacted in the 1990s.
