And yes, I too think Lena must have been an amazing woman, and so was her younger sister, Emma. They made a formidable "maiden aunt" team, but a kindly one. My mother remembers them, but I was born too late to have the opportunity to meet either one. The best I can do is write about them in the family history I am currently publishing.Chery Kinnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662778019834533118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33506976.post-16461236881100624462008-04-07T16:29:00.000-07:002008-04-07T16:29:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed this post a lot - you are a wonde...I really enjoyed this post a lot - you are a wonderful writer and the postcard, photo and sheet music were just perfect.

So far, it seems I've been focusing on the ladies, so perhaps I ought to do one of the gentlemen next time around. And, don't you love old postcards?Chery Kinnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662778019834533118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33506976.post-18378420311952234022008-04-05T22:12:00.000-07:002008-04-05T22:12:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chery Kinnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662778019834533118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33506976.post-66192048961837250572008-04-04T23:52:00.000-07:002008-04-04T23:52:00.000-07:00Chery, I really enjoy reading your posts on your N...Chery, I really enjoy reading your posts on your Norwegian-American ancestors. You probably know that I started posting some of the postcards that belonged to my husband's Norwegian-American great-grandmother on my blog. Your stories remind me of what I'm reading on those postcards, and give me a good social history of what life was like in the late 1800s/early 1900s for Norwegian-American women in the Midwest.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the awesome work! I look forward to reading more!Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.com
