SHRIWISE, CHRISTINA Special Article about her life. Frasier Meadows Manor Resident Came To U.S. From Russia As A Child 'America has been good to me', says Mrs. Christina Shriwise, resident of Frasier Meadows Manor. She came to this country from Russia with her parents when she was a child. Her experience in this country are similar to many another immigrant who has found in America an opportunity to acquire the good things of life through hard work and thrifty management. Mrs. Shriwise, who has been a widow since 1934, has had the opportunity in recent years to endow two universities in Kansas, the state where she has spent most of her life. A member of the Methodist Church at Hoisington, Kansas, for many years, Mrs. Shriwise became interested in the universities of that denomination in the state and has provided annuities for Southwestern University at Winfield, and Kansas Wesleyan University at Salina. At Southwestern, a dormitory is named for her. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Shriwise remained on their 160 acre farm in the outskirts of Hoisington. Through the years she has been able to acquire additional lands and property. At one time she owned more than 2,000 acres about half of it near Cheyenne Wells, Colorado.
