BIOGRAPHY
Einer was born in Elverum, Hedmark, Norway, to 27 year old Oline Engebretsdatter Gammelmoen (Gammelmoen being her family's farm) and 20 year old Ole Johnsen Houm (Houm was his family's farm).
Einer's full given names were Einar Louis Løken. Løken was the name of Oline's residence at the time, where she was working as a maidservant. His names Einar Louis were known to his family in America, but not Løken, which is shown on the church record of his birth. Einar changed the spelling of his first name to Einer as an adult.
Einer's parents were not married, and three months after Einar's birth, Oline emigrated to the United States in the company of her brother Oluf Engebretsen and her infant child. Oluf had already come to the United States in 1882 and had attained citizenship.
Oline, Einer and Oluf traveled on the SS Geiser, which sailed from Cophenhagen and arrived in New York on October 14, 1887. In the passenger list, Oline's surname was entered as Engebretsen (the same as her brother's). Einer's name was also noted as Engebretsen. In the United States, Oline went by her father's surname, which was Olsen, but Americanized to Olson, until she married Lars Olof Tullberg on January 6, 1891.
Oline and Lars lived in Morris, Shawano County, Wisconsin, and had three children together - Carl John Tullberg, Alfred Florenteen Tullberg, and Hadda O. Tullberg (named after Lars' first wife Hadda Johnsdatter). In 1900, Lars, Oline, Einer, Carl, Hadda, Alfred and Harry (one of Lars' sons with Hadda) lived in Morris, Wisconsin. Lars' occupation was farmer, and Einer and Carl attended school. Harry was a day laborer.
Einer's little sister Hadda died later that year, and his mother Oline died in March 1901, when Einer was 14. By this time, Einer's biological father in Norway, Ole Johnsen Houm, had married and was living at his farm Houm in Elverum, Norway, with wife Anne Pedersdatter and children Ingrid and John.
In 1905, at about 18, Einer was lodging with Christian and Vere Hansen and Fred and Elnora Boldig in Morris. The Hansens and Boldigs were relatives of his stepfather Lars' sister Johanna Tullberg Hansen. Fred and Einer worked at a mill.
In 1910, 22 year old Einer and his 69 year old stepfather Lars were living in Adams County, North Dakota and working as housing carpenters. On May 23, 1912, Lars obtained a 160 acre land patent (Accession No. 269046) in North Dakota, which was finalized in 1916 (Accession No. 518735).
Einer became a US citizen on February 4, 1913, in papers filed in Hettinger, North Dakota. In his 1909 declaration of intention, he is described as 5'5", 148 lbs., with light complexion, light brown hair and blue eyes.
In June 1915, Einer was working as a carpenter in Miles City, Custer County, Montana as stated on his draft registration card.
On June 14, 1919 Einer was granted three homestead patents in Garfield County, South Dakota (240 acres, 44.37 acres and 44.25 acres).
In 1920, 33 year old Einer was lodging with the Hiers family at 111 South Center Ave., in Miles City, working as a building carpenter. His stepfather Lars Olaf, who had returned to Morris, Wisconsin, died in 1923. Lars' obituary reported that Einer was at that time living in Long Beach, California.
Einer liked southern California and on January 21, 1927, the Bismarck Tribune reported that he went to Los Angeles to accept a job there, perhaps a temporary construction job (see article below).
On Christmas Day, 1929, Einer married Amelia Klein in Bismarck (see article below). Einer and Amelia initially lived with Einer's half-brother Carl John Tullberg and Carl's wife Ella Bohn Tullberg, at 1021 Fourth Street, but later moved next door to 1017 Fourth Street. Their home was (and still is) very close to the State Capitol. They had two children - Ellsworth Eugene, born September 13, 1930, and Shirley Ann, born March 3, 1933.
Einer continued working as a carpenter, and had his own construction company. Some of the photos we have posted show his truck with "EL Tulberg Builder Phone 1924" painted on the side. Einer's son Ellsworth recalls visiting the work sites now and then "and Dad would give me something to do to get me out of his hair such as: Go get me a 'board stretcher'. Obviously I would get frustrated after a while and leave."
Amelia continued working as a checker at the Capital Steam Laundry with her cousin Bertha Steinert.
Einer also worked on the new 21-story, Art Deco-style Bismarck State Capitol, which was completed in 1934 during the Great Depression and replaced the earlier capitol which had burned to the ground December 28, 1930. In April 1933, shortly after the birth of his second child, he suffered a 34 foot fall from the main floor to the basement of the Capitol, breaking several bones in the process (see article below). His injuries left one leg shorter than the other, although that is not evident in photos.
In 1942, Einer, Amelia and their two children moved to Santa Paula, California, where Einer continued to work as a carpenter and later worked for the Navy at the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Port Hueneme.
In 1955, the Navy awarded him a Certificate of Award for a suggestion he had made to accelerate the task of opening shipping crates. Einer's invention was a pry bar that made it easier to take the crates apart. Port Hueneme was very important to the War effort and many crates were shipped to the far East. Any idea that could make the job faster and easier was welcomed. Einer's half-brother Carl John Tullberg had served with "extreme bravery and gallantry" in the trenches of France in World War I, earning the right to wear the Silver Star. Einer wasn't able to serve in the military because he had flat feet, and he probably felt that he didn't do his share during that war. Therefore, he was justifiably proud to have contributed to the WWII war effort, and Einer's family was also very proud of him.
In the late 1940s / early 1950s, Einer and Amelia, along with Einer's step-nephew Carl Henry Tullberg and wife Ethel, investigated homesteading in 29 Palms, in the southern California desert. Amelia of course did not want to live in the desert (!), and their claim was never finalized, but Ethel and Carl did obtain a homestead which was in Ethel's name. Some of the pictures we have posted here show the four of them out surveying their claims.
Amelia and Einer lived in an adorable one bedroom duplex at 228 South 4th Street, across from Isbell School. For a time Einer's step-nephew Arthur Tullberg and wife Adelyne and their children lived on the other side. When you walked in the front door, you first noticed the lush red and green flowered wallpaper and wall to wall gray carpet of large leaf fronds. To the left (on the wall shared with the other side of the duplex) was a fake fireplace with tan tiles. A gilt mirror hung above the fireplace, with sconce lights on either side. They had a heater in the fireplace niche that Amelia painted silver, and which had a strong smell and smoked when turned on. Opposite the front door was a Murphy bed elegantly concealed behind glassed French doors with shirred sheer curtains secured at top and bottom with a pocket rod. On the same wall were three scalloped, interlocking knick-knack shelves which held, among other hings, a miniature glass menagerie. The walls had to be washed regularly due to the soot from the smudge pots in the citrus orchards. The television set was opposite the fireplace between two windows that looked out over the driveway. The kitchen door, opposite the front door, was one of those heavy older swinging doors, thick with many coats of glossy white paint. The refrigerator was an "icebox," the stove was of course gas which you had to light, and there was a cute Formica dinette. The laundry, just off the kitchen with a window to the driveway, consisted of what we would call a vintage washer – a round tub with a wringer attached – and a solar dryer (clothesline out back). Some of us can remember getting our hands stuck in the wringer as children. In the front, by the painted brick-red porch, Amelia used to plant geraniums (which she said "grew like weeds") but in later years, we saw plastic flowers planted in their place.
Einer was a typical father of the period, a taciturn man on the quiet side, and a hard worker to whom family was most important. Like many of his generation, his formal education didn't go beyond the fifth grade or so, but he was very intelligent – his son remembers Einer helping him with Algebra in high school; Einer could figure out the answers (although not the way the teacher wanted). He was a loving and caring father and husband. He also a fun-loving side, with a good sense of humor and a mischievous streak – witness the tree-hugging picture. He and Amelia loved to play cards with friends, and they enjoyed many picnics at Steckel Park with step-nephew Carl and wife Ethel, with his half-brother Carl John Tullberg and wife Ella, with Clara and Doris Tullberg, with step-nephew Art Tullberg and his wife Adelyne, and of course all the children. He also loved driving to Castaic to get small pancakes for Sunday breakfast, and trips around the "triangle" – Santa Paula, Ojai, and Ventura – were quite often an entertainment.
Einer died on January 12, 1959, in Santa Paula, and is dearly missed by his family.

BIOGRAPHY
Amelia was the first child of Julianna "Julia" Stolz and Friedrich "Fred" Klein and was born in Freidorf, Beresan, Odessa, South Russia (now Ukraine) on August 22, 1908. Freidorf, a German settlement, was founded in 1888.
When Amelia was barely a year old, the familiy emigrated to the United States. Their ship, the SS Montrose, left Antwerp, Belgium on November 17, 1909 and arrived in St. John, Canada on November 28, 1909.
With Fred, Julia and Amelia was an adopted daughter, 11 year old Ekatarina Folmer. Ekatarina appears as "Katherine Klein" on the ship's list but her actual birth name is specified on Julia's naturalization papers in 1941. We do not know what became of Katherine; she appears on the 1910 US census with Fred, Julia and Amelia, but not on the 1920 census.
The family's stated destination was Washburn, North Dakota. After landing at St. John, Fred, Julia and baby Amelia took a train to cross into the United States at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Fred and Julia were farmers and initially settled in Estherville, North Dakota (1910 census), and later in Koenig, North Dakota (1915 North Dakota census and the 1920 and 1930 US censuses).
On Christmas Day, 1929, Amelia married Einer Louis Tulberg in Bismarck (see article below). Einer and Amelia initially lived with Einer's half-brother Carl John Tullberg and Carl's wife Ella Bohn Tullberg, at 1021 Fourth Street, but later moved next door to 1017 Fourth Street.
Amelia and Einer had two children, Ellsworth Eugene (born September 13, 1930) and Shirley Ann (born March 3, 1933).
Einer continued working as a carpenter, and had his own construction company. Amelia worked as a checker at the Capital Steam Laundry at 301 Front Street in Bismarck, with her cousin Bertha Steinert.
Einer also worked on the Bismarck State Capitol. In April 1933, shortly after the birth of his second child, he suffered a 34 foot fall from the main floor to the basement of the Capitol, breaking several bones in the process (see article in his findagrave.com memorial). His injuries left one leg shorter than the other, although that is not evident in photos.
In 1941 or 1942, Einer, Amelia and their two children moved to Santa Paula, California, where Einer continued to work as a carpenter and later worked for the Navy at the Naval Construction Battalian Center in Port Hueneme. Amelia joined the Petrolia Rebekahs Lodge No. 59 in Santa Paula with close friend Ethel Coe Tullberg (Find a Grave Memorial 116193502; Ethel was the wife of Einer's step-nephew Carl Henry Tullberg). The many pictures of the two women dressed up in formals and in costumes (gypsies, Dutch maids) attest to the great pleasure they derived from their membership in the Rebekahs and the great importance the organization had in their lives.
In the late 1940s / early 1950s, Amelia, Einer, Ethel and Carl decided to file homestead applications in 29 Palms, in the southern California desert. Amelia of course did not want to live in the desert (!) and their claim was never finalized, but Ethel and Carl did obtain a homestead which was in Ethel's name. Some of the pictures we have posted here show the four of them out surveying their claims.
Amelia loved ballroom dancing and often went to the Lawrence Welk show in Los Angeles to enjoy the music and to dance, and we have seen her in the audience on one or two of the shows. Like Amelia, Mr. Welk was from Bismarck and Amelia also went to his shows in Bismarck before she and Einer moved to Southern California in 1941 or 1942.
Amelia had a strong German accent like Mr. Welk's and it amused us when she once said, in a thicker accent than his, "Why can't he learn to talk like an American" or something to that effect. She never could pronounce her son Ellsworth's name correctly, "Ellswort" was her rendition. When she referred to his family collectively, it was "The Ellsworts."
Amelia and Einer lived in an adorable one bedroom duplex at 228 South 4th Street, across from Isbell School. For a time Einer's step-nephew Arthur Tullberg and wife Adelyne and their children lived on the other side. When you walked in the front door, you first noticed the lush red and green flowered wallpaper and wall to wall gray carpet of large leaf fronds. To the left (on the wall shared with the other side of the duplex) was a fake fireplace with tan tiles. A gilt mirror hung above the fireplace, with sconce lights on either side. They had a heater in the fireplace niche that Amelia painted silver, and which had a strong smell and smoked when turned on. Opposite the front door was a Murphy bed elegantly concealed behind glassed French doors with shirred sheer curtains secured at top and bottom with a pocket rod. On the same wall were three scalloped, interlocking knick-knack shelves which held, among other hings, a miniature glass menagerie. The walls had to be washed regularly due to the soot from the smudge pots in the citrus orchards. The television set was opposite the fireplace between two windows that looked out over the driveway. The kitchen door, opposite the front door, was one of those heavy older swinging doors, thick with many coats of glossy white paint. The refrigerator was an "icebox," the stove was of course gas which you had to light, and there was a cute Formica dinette. The laundry, just off the kitchen with a window to the driveway, consisted of what we would call a vintage washer – a round tub with a wringer attached – and a solar dryer (clothesline out back). Some of us can remember getting our hands stuck in the wringer as children. In the front, by the painted brick-red porch, Amelia used to plant geraniums (which she said "grew like weeds") but in later years, we saw plastic flowers planted in their place.
Amelia and Einer loved to play cards with friends, and they enjoyed many picnics at Steckel Park with Carl and Ethel, with Einer's half-brother Carl John Tullberg and wife Ella, with Clara and Doris Tullberg, with step-nephew Art Tullberg and his wife Adelyne, and of course all the children. He also loved driving to Castaic to get small pancakes for Sunday breakfast, and trips around the "triangle" – Santa Paula, Ojai, and Ventura – were quite often an entertainment.
After Einer died in 1959, Amelia cooked for the Santa Paula Rotary Club. She never learned to drive and walked to the Rotary Club. Irene Coe, sister in law of Ethel Coe Tullberg, remembers that she and her husband Roger often took Ethel and Amelia to the First Baptist Church where the four of them attended services, and they would all go out to eat afterward. Irene remembers that if anything stumped Amelia, she would say "cheese and crackers."
Amelia's children and grandchildren remember many leftovers Amelia would bring home from the Rotary Club, especially the exotically-named Beef Stroganoff and Swiss Steak, eaten in her cute '50s style Formica dinette. We also remember the delicious popcorn she made on the stove in a cast-iron skillet which we would eat while watching Lawrence Welk on the Murphy bed. Life was good.
Amelia also was a frequent user of the Greyhound bus line. She used to walk from where she lived to the Greyhound bus station to ride to Los Angeles to visit friends, lugging an old hard suitcase before suitcases had wheels. (Of course when her children were there, they gave her a ride!) She walked everywhere. She even made Greyhound trips as far as Sacramento so she could visit her daughter Shirley's family. It was a different world back then - these days, you cannot imagine allowing your mother to take a 400 mile bus trip all by herself.
Some time after Einer died, Amelia left their duplex on 228 South Fourth Street and moved to Apartment 1B at 737 Yale Street. Her apartment was a walkup on the second floor, and Amelia certainly stayed in shape.
Amelia was a fun-loving, kind and warm-hearted woman with a ready smile, a friendly face and a sympathetic, perceptive nature. She was dearly loved by her children, grandchildren, relatives and friends, and is very much missed.

BIOGRAPHY
Friedrich ("Fred") Klein was born in Berlin, Tiraspol, South Russia, on June 13, 1876. He was the son of Johann Klein (born in Grossliebental, Odessa, South Russia 3 Oct 1836) and Katharina Strecker, who married in Grossliebental, Odessa, South Russia, 20 Nov 1858.
The Klein family came from Germany but had been in Russia for generations as the Russian government encouraged Europeans to settle and farm in Russia. Those who immigrated to the United States are known collectively as "Germans from Russia."
Fred married Julianna ("Julia") Stolz on December 4, 1907, in Neu Freudental, Beresan, South Russia (Pastor Martin Issler presiding). Fred and Julia had four children:
AMELIA was born in Freidorf, Odessa, South Russia 22 Aug 1908. She married Einer Louis Tulberg.
ALVINA was born in Wilton, McLean, North Dakota 18 May 1910. She married Jacob Schacher in Washburn, McLean, North Dakota, 10 Oct 1928.
TEAFIL ("Ted") was born in McLean County, North Dakota 20 Jun 1912. He married Mary Jane Louise Gruenberg.
LYDIA was born in rural Washburn, North Dakota 31 Jul 1914. She married Edward Wagner.
Amelia was the only child born in Russia. Julia and Fred emigrated to the United States in 1909 when Amelia was an infant. They left Antwerp, Belgium on November 17, 1909 and arrived in St. John, Canada on November 28, 1909, on the SS Montrose.
With Fred, Julia and Amelia was an adopted daughter, 11 year old Ekatarina Folmer. Ekatarina appears as "Katherine Klein" on the ship's list but her actual birth name is specified on Julia's naturalization papers in 1941. We do not know what became of Katherine; she appears on the 1910 US census with Fred, Julia and Amelia, but not on the 1920 census.

Fred and Julia were farmers and initially settled in Estherville, North Dakota (1910 census), and later in Koenig, North Dakota (1915 North Dakota census and the 1920 and 1930 US censuses).
Fred was naturalized on March 17, 1941. His naturalization photo is similar but not identical to this one posted.
Fred passed away on January 11, 1950. Fred's grave marker gives his year of birth as 1873, however his naturalization papers dated March 17, 1941, and his death record on the North Dakota Department of Health website, record his birth date as June 13, 1876.
****************************
MEMORIES OF FRED from their grandchildren:
A grandson recalls:
I have a few memories of Grandma and Grandpa Klein's farm and my summer visits.
First you need to understand that they were 'Share Croppers', someone else owned the farm and they were allowed to farm it. The owner and the farmer shared the income at some agreed to split. I was 10 or 11 years old when we moved to California so my memories of the farm, Julia and Fred are very vague to say the least. I probably stayed with them during 2 or 3 summers. So a little boy's recollections of the Farm.
I have no idea how many acres they had to till but it couldn't have been very large because there were only two people to do the work, Fred and Ted, except during harvest when relatives and neighbors helped. There was one very old tractor, some basic farm equipment, one horse, Jerry the dog, some pigs, 4 or 5 cows, lots of chickens. There was a typical farm windmill which pumped water from a well into a large wood uncovered tank. The large animals drank from the tank. I guess grandma filled small vessels for the small animals to drink from. BTW I forgot there were lots of cats in and around the barn to keep the varmint numbers low. Grandma did most of the milking and she carried water in pails from the windmill to the house. She could hit a cat's open mouth from say 10 feet from the cow. Oh yes there was a very necessary out house.
Uncle Ted took me with him to cut and bind some wheat one day. He apparently didn't have anyone else to help him. The job was to pull a "binder" with the ancient tractor to make bundles of wheat tied with "binder twine". My job was to sit on the binder with Uncle Ted driving the tractor pulling the binder. I was supposed to hold a lever down with my foot while the binder cut and tied the "shocks" of wheat, dropped them on a device that my foot was holding until there were say 5 or 6 shocks and then raise my foot and drop them in a straight line across the field. Well I didn't weigh enough to hold the lever down long enough to drop the bundles in a straight line. Finally Ted looked back and saw the bundles all over the place and lost it. I heard phrases such as "Got en hemal" and others. Since there was no one else around he put me on the tractor and the fun began. First I didn't weigh enough to push the clutch in so he pushed it in, got us moving, and jumped off the tractor right in front of the left rear spiked wheel that was turning. He ran around the binder, right in front of the cutting bar, and jumped on. So down the row we went until we reached the end. Ted screamed "turn left" I couldn't move the steering wheel so we ran right thru the neighbors barbed wire fence. Needless to say he never asked me to help him again.
I remember that I bugged Uncle Ted to let me ride the horse and he ignored me until one evening he said that I could use the horse to get the cows. They had no bridles, saddles etc. Horse had a rope around his neck. Ted lifted me onto the horse's back and away I went. Usually the dog, Jerry, was sent to get the cows. Anyway sometime after being out of sight of the house the horse stopped fast, I went over his head, he took off and stepped on my foot went a few yards and started to graze. I'm screaming my head off in pain but no one could hear me. After what seemed like hours Jerry came by and gave me a disdainful look. Shortly Jerry goes by the other way with another look and the cows. Finally Grandpa shows up in their old car to pick me up. I spent a couple of days in pain with never a word about seeing a doctor.
Grandma usually had a 50 pound sack of sugar under their bed and in season and if they had the money a bag of apples. I really enjoyed sucking on a corner of the sugar sack and snitching an apple now and then. These were the only sweets.
These people really worked long and hard. Grandpa and Uncle Ted outside on the farming or fixing equipment and/or buildings. Grandma, BTW if she weighed 80 pounds I would be surprised, was either cleaning, washing clothes by hand, sewing or cooking. She had a large black coal burning stove for cooking and baking. She baked the best bread I have ever tasted in that black monster. The stove was also the house heater during those freezing North Dakota winters. Additionally, she heated her iron on that stove. She was always working, feeding the small animals, carrying water, cooking etc. No Appliances. This was primitive existence 1940's. No running water, electricity, natural gas or inside toilets.
A granddaughter recalls:
My memories of Grandpa are of his walking to our house on the west end of Washburn after Grandma had died. He'd eat cereal with us in the mornings.

Julianna Stolz was born in Neu Freudental, Beresan, South Russia, 14 Jun 1875, to Georg Jakob Stolz and Christine Geier. (Neu Freudental was the German name for Novofreydental, which is now called Marynivka, Odessa, Ukraine.)
The Stolz family originated from Germany but had been in Russia for generations as the Russian government encouraged Europeans to settle and farm in Russia. Those who immigrated to the United States were known collectively as "Germans from Russia."

Fred and Julia were farmers and initially settled in Estherville, North Dakota (1910 census), and later in Koenig, North Dakota (1915 North Dakota census and the 1920 and 1930 US censuses).
Julia was naturalized on March 19, 1941. Her naturalization photo is similar but not identical to this one posted.
Julia's grave marker gives her year of death as 1946, however the North Dakota Department of Health records it as June 15, 1947.

MEMORIES OF JULIA from her grandchildren
Julia is remembered fondly by her grandchildren as having been a great cook - she made root beer (which was kept in a root cellar) and wonderful breads and cookies. All recalled Julia as being tiny and frail (her naturalization papers in 1939 record her height at 5 feet and weight at 100 pounds). Here are some stories in their own words.
One of Julianna's grandsons, Ellsworth Tulberg, recalls:
I have a few memories of Grandma and Grandpa Klein's farm and my summer visits.
First you need to understand that they were 'Share Croppers', someone else owned the farm and they were allowed to farm it. The owner and the farmer shared the income at some agreed to split. I was 10 or 11 years old when we moved to California so my memories of the farm, Julia and Fred are very vague to say the least. I probably stayed with them during 2 or 3 summers. So a little boy's recollections of the Farm.
I have no idea how many acres they had to till but it couldn't have been very large because there were only two people to do the work, Fred and Ted, except during harvest when relatives and neighbors helped. There was one very old tractor, some basic farm equipment, one horse, Jerry the dog, some pigs, 4 or 5 cows, lots of chickens. There was a typical farm windmill which pumped water from a well into a large wood uncovered tank. The large animals drank from the tank. I guess grandma filled small vessels for the small animals to drink from. BTW I forgot there were lots of cats in and around the barn to keep the varmint numbers low. Grandma did most of the milking and she carried water in pails from the windmill to the house. She could hit a cat's open mouth from say 10 feet from the cow. Oh yes there was a very necessary out house.
Uncle Ted took me with him to cut and bind some wheat one day. He apparently didn't have anyone else to help him. The job was to pull a "binder" with the ancient tractor to make bundles of wheat tied with "binder twine". My job was to sit on the binder with Uncle Ted driving the tractor pulling the binder. I was supposed to hold a lever down with my foot while the binder cut and tied the "shocks" of wheat, dropped them on a device that my foot was holding until there were say 5 or 6 shocks and then raise my foot and drop them in a straight line across the field. Well I didn't weigh enough to hold the lever down long enough to drop the bundles in a straight line. Finally Ted looked back and saw the bundles all over the place and lost it. I heard phrases such as "Got en hemal" and others. Since there was no one else around he put me on the tractor and the fun began. First I didn't weigh enough to push the clutch in so he pushed it in, got us moving, and jumped off the tractor right in front of the left rear spiked wheel that was turning. He ran around the binder, right in front of the cutting bar, and jumped on. So down the row we went until we reached the end. Ted screamed "turn left" I couldn't move the steering wheel so we ran right thru the neighbors barbed wire fence. Needless to say he never asked me to help him again.
I remember That I bugged Uncle Ted to let me ride the horse and he ignored me until one evening he said that I could use the horse to get the cows. They had no bridles, saddles etc. Horse had a rope around his neck. Ted lifted me onto the horse's back and away I went. Usually the dog, Jerry, was sent to get the cows. Anyway sometime after being out of sight of the house the horse stopped fast, I went over his head, he took off and stepped on my foot went a few yards and started to graze. I'm screaming my head off in pain but no one could hear me. After what seemed like hours Jerry came by and gave me a disdainful look. Shortly Jerry goes by the other way with another look and the cows. Finally Grandpa shows up in their old car to pick me up. I spent a couple of days in pain with never a word about seeing a doctor.
Grandma usually had a 50 pound sack of sugar under their bed and in season and if they had the money a bag of apples. I really enjoyed sucking on a corner of the sugar sack and snitching an apple now and then. These were the only sweets.
These people really worked long and hard. Grandpa and Uncle Ted outside on the farming or fixing equipment and/or buildings. Grandma, BTW if she weighed 80 pounds I would be surprised, was either cleaning, washing clothes by hand, sewing or cooking. She had a large black coal burning stove for cooking and baking. She baked the best bread I have ever tasted in that black monster. The stove was also the house heater during those freezing North Dakota winters. Additionally, she heated her iron on that stove. She was always working, feeding the small animals, carrying water, cooking etc. No Appliances. This was primitive existence 1940's. No running water, electricity, natural gas or inside toilets.
One of Julianna's granddaughters, Judy Wagner, recalls:
My memories of Grandma are more vivid during the time they lived in Washburn before she died. I, too, remember her as being tiny and frail! One of the things I remember most is that she would pour her coffee from the cup into the saucer and drink it. I guess it cooled the coffee enough so that she could drink it without burning her tongue.
