What beautiful memories it must have represented. What hope it conjures up.Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350579051520505525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-3706192621049176322010-12-23T07:23:58.147-06:002010-12-23T07:23:58.147-06:00I hope you thumb is on the mend!!

It is the only "city" to be found for miles! <br /><br />The Gundersons were very prolific - I did a quick look at the 1910 census and they numbered into the several dozens - A "suburb" of Lake Mills (I use quotes because I'm sure it was/is just a cross-roads) by the name of Norway had a "typical to what I saw" Gunderson family:<br /><br />Father Nels Gunderson 69y <br />Wife Engeber Gunderson 58y <br />Child Gust Gunderson 34y <br />Child Gunderson 33y <br />Child Albert Gunderson 29y <br />Child Benard Gunderson 27y <br />Child Lars Gunderson 25y <br />Child Ida Gunderson 20y <br />Child Johan Gunderson 17y <br /><br />A set of Gunderson's in the "city":<br /><br />Husband Sener Gunderson 38y <br />Wife Julia Gunderson 33y <br />Child Ole R Gunderson 11y <br />Child George L Gunderson 9y <br />Child Gladys S Gunderson 7y <br />Child Alfred Gunderson 5y <br />Child Selmer G Gunderson 3y <br />Child Joseph R Gunderson 8m <br /><br />They would have needed a fleet of Winnebagos to fo camping.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-19303710166035577402010-12-23T05:21:42.136-06:002010-12-23T05:21:42.136-06:00What a sweet photo and I would love to have that l...What a sweet photo and I would love to have that lamp!<br /><br />Hope your thumb is feeling better today.
