Jenny, I got your message thru ancestry's board, but it didn't give your email address. You were replying to an old email of mine about the Fingerhut bakery. I don't even know what I wrote at that time since I wrote it from the National Archives.
My mother worked at the Fingerhut bakery - must have been in Berwyn or Cicero, probably around 1928-1930. She later became a private duty nurse & took care of one of the Fingerhuts, a woman, maybe elderly, possibly in West Suburban Hosp in Oak Park, maybe in the 1950s. The only thing I remember well is the baked good given to her to bring home.
When you have time, contact me at
