Family Statistics
Love and joy with singing were a part of the Suderman family in spite of severe poverty and hardship. None of the children married at an early age. Nicholas was the impetuous bridegroom at 22, when he married Helena Stelting. Henry, the shortest of them all, married Tina Penner at the age of 36. Grandfather Suderman was only 21 when he married his little Ganetha when she was 20 years old.Family Statistics
