I,too remember the house on the lake in Superior with Uncle Bud and a cat who was over 20 years old. Sha was incredibly kind and Bud seemed humorous.

Sue T left a comment on my blog post about my father, Wallace Lomoe, with a link to this wonderful site. I would dearly love to have this photo, and I'm thrilled to read all the comments about Alice and Gunda.<br /><br />You are correct that Alice didn't have any children, but I spent many wonderful summer vacations with her at her cottage at Cranberry Lake south of Itasca and Superior. I have a box of memorabilia she had saved about our family that was passed on to me by my brother after Alice's death. She taught English and was a choir director well into old age. She was a warm, loving person with a good sense of humor, and a lover of cats.<br /><br />I'll inevitably have to blog about this amazing find and the memories it stirs up. When I do, I'll let you know on this site. In the meantime, please visit my blog! <br /><br />Julie Lomoe's Musings Mysterioso<br />http://julielomoe.wordpress.comJulie Lomoehttp://julielomoe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-80349205339899471132010-04-26T11:19:12.650-05:002010-04-26T11:19:12.650-05:00Anonymous..Thank you so much for leaving a comment...Anonymous..Thank you so much for leaving a comment, do you recall what subjects she taught? :) ConnieFar Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-56008877892254586702010-04-26T10:34:56.197-05:002010-04-26T10:34:56.197-05:00What an interesing site.

Part of that is old/oral family history & stories are not always 100% correct (they sometimes lose information or change over time), and if you get stuck with preconceived notions, you sometimes get stuck in places. ~AbraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-83701196801241176162010-04-24T10:54:58.949-05:002010-04-24T10:54:58.949-05:00Abra you are truly AMAZING.

I found a few more tidbits. Oscar Lamoe's first wife committed suicide in Itasca WI in April, 1905. I believe he married Gunda (Alice's mother) around 2 years later, as they were married 3 years in the 1910 census. Gunda's obituary is archived as January of 1964, age 82. I found Oscar as the master of the Itasca Free Mason's Lodge in 1925. On August 6 1910, at about 9 PM, Alice's 1/2 brother Orrin, age 10, was electrocuted while playing near electrical wires, which resulted in a negligence lawsuit against the Superior Water, Light, & Power Company. Alice had another older 1/2 brother Wallace, and a younger brother Orville. I found an obituary from 1970 for Mrs. Wallace Lomoe which gives a good deal of information on them & lists her survivors (Wallace & his wife were both in the newspaper industry, with Wallace being ). I did more searching and found Wallace's daughter's blog; she is a writer out of New York. Perhaps she could tell you if Alice had children, or if someone in the family would be interested in this photo. I found an article on orville (Bud) Lomoe, who was a managing editor at the Duluth News Tribune. I also found an obituary for Orville's son, Richard who died in 1997. The SS Death Index also lists Wallace as dying in 1975, Orville in 1991, & his wife in 2009. I'll send links in your email. Amazing what one can find starting with a forgotten photo. :-)Abra La Mentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01109063644842802206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-7602147284010757482010-04-24T01:07:06.422-05:002010-04-24T01:07:06.422-05:00This might interest you: http://superiorscholarshi...This might interest you: http://superiorscholarship.org/scholarships_unrestricted.php<br /><br />Alice Lomoe Mitchell ScholarshipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-46419100347072126332010-04-23T23:12:14.308-05:002010-04-23T23:12:14.308-05:00Norkio found the right person.

She has two older 1/2 brothers at the time; she is the first child from her father Oscar's second marriage (to Gunda). I didn't go back to see who his 1st wife is. She was married 8/10/1955 in Pine County Mn to Donald Mitchell. It is unknown if she had children. She died July 25, 2002, in Superior Wisconsin. I will try poking around a little more later this weekend. ~AbraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-68356390888553034872010-04-23T22:29:20.137-05:002010-04-23T22:29:20.137-05:00Abra might be better at this, but I did find an Al...Abra might be better at this, but I did find an Alice Lomoe or possibly Lomos in Wisconsin, born in 1910.
