The Welcome to Grusam, your horrific true crime podcast. I am Meg and Connie Fresh with a tan back from Vae Kaye is going to tell us about Dolly Osterike.

I just got back from Savannah.

We went.

We were in Tybee Island with like my family,

like my unit, my in-law unit,

and like my brother-in-law unit and it was a very interesting time. But I did get a pretty good tan and a pretty big bruise on my arm. If you're watching this like on

Patreon you'll be able to see it. I ran into the mantle at my at the Airbnb and I

have like the gnarliest rectangle bruise. Well tonight we're gonna talk

about a case that I have read about quite a few times and I've had several requests for and if you've heard this case before welcome back and if not get ready because this one is so freaking bizarre. I told Meg at the beginning before we recorded that this case is a little lighter, not in terms of like there was still murder involved but it's not as like brutal and like

terrifying but I felt like with the previous week that especially the United States has had that it was due just

something like a little like oh so here we go. Dolly Osterike was born Wahlberga Corshell in 1880, so we're taking it back.

Wahlburger.

She was a German immigrant who immigrated with her family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

It is unclear if she was bored in Germany and immigrated like as soon as she was born with her family

or if she was born immediately like when they not immediately like as soon as they got here

and her parents were the immigrants you know 1880s so there's not the record keeping

back then is not like what it is today. We don't have a cloud full of

information. No. When she was 12 and because this is the early 1900s she took a job at a textile mill where the women primarily made aprons.

The owner of the mill, Fred William Osterike, another German immigrant.

And honestly, he ran the mill, like it was his mill,

but he was only a few years older than she was.

He would hire other German immigrants to the mill just as like his way of giving back.
