One the girls was a half sister but I don't know which one. Tobias
was 25 years old when he and his father and mother came over, two of
the boys had already came to the U.S. and were working in Min. or Wis.
I can't remember but there were a lot of other people from Norway
living there. The first I can that papa had a bother Andrew he wrote
to papa and wanted Papa to let his daughter and I to write to each other.
Which we did, I still have a card from here. It must have been 1916
or 1917. Martian Anderson's family lived in Canada. In 1920 his
daughter sent mama a letter. Com to think of it must have been after
Papa died because we Wilbur and I were already married. The letter was
passed around to cousins and aunts and each one added any news from
their familys. In 1908 Papa brothers son John died and he spent us a
picture of the casket with a picture of a hanshom young man, he was
about 25, he look real young. The picture was on the casket.
