He was called 'Eldor' because he was the eldest son. Eldor married Gustave 'Gusty' before 1909. His mother, Johanna Nickoline Kristine married Edvard Elliason on 03 July 1876 in Bindal. They had 4 sons in Norway, Eldor (Hagamand), Anton, Marshall(Marcellius), and Johannes; and a daughter Emelia after emigrating to the USA in late 1891 or early 1892 to Kittson County, MN.

It was easy to miss as this is the photo with three children, two of them the girls with the white headband/bow things and one girl has such a saucy look on her face. The child with the belt is completely upstaged by the personality of his sisters!Norkiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017387181655123770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-60871274380976001292010-06-27T18:25:31.777-05:002010-06-27T18:25:31.777-05:00no. but I'm going to look at some of our old ...no. but I'm going to look at some of our old photos and seePamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-54180461214659666762010-06-27T16:17:26.357-05:002010-06-27T16:17:26.357-05:00We were occasionally tied to the couch leg and my ...We were occasionally tied to the couch leg and my mother had a sort of leash or tether for my little sister when she went shopping with three little kids. This was back in the early 50s. Was also shut in a dark closet as punishment. Would be considered child abuse these days, I suppose. But back then children spent an awful lot of time in playpens, too. Kept them out of trouble, I suppose. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-79981435428240729042010-06-27T08:25:15.410-05:002010-06-27T08:25:15.410-05:00Maybe I should get my 16 yr old a belt like that &...Maybe I should get my 16 yr old a belt like that & tie him into place!
