In the summer of 1884, Alvine Pofahl and Gottlob Kayser were both immigrants, working in Buffalo, New York. Like most immigrants, their normal work day was 12-hours, six days a week. That left little time for courting. 17-year old Alvine was an upstairs maid at a railroad boarding house for rail employees on layover. Gottlob was a boilermaker (a welder) for the railroad.
One day, Alvine was called downstairs to the kitchen to help make bread and butter sandwiches for the mens' lunches. Alvine had been eying Gottlob and she liked him, so she put lots of extra butter on his sandwich. It so happened Gottlob did not like butter, and that evening he complained to the landlady. Alvine got into lots of trouble and she was demoted, she was sent back upstairs. BUT, she had accomplished her mission - she got Gottlob's attention!
They were married January 3, 1885. Ten months later their first child, Christian was born. His nine siblings followed in "normal spacing," 18 months apart.
