It will be by mother, Vida’s birthday on the 16th. Mom will be 87, she still lives on the farm, volunteers two days a week to help at the Good Samaritan Home in Bottineau, and still cooks the best breakfast in the area. The picture is of Mom and her grandson, Eric(my youngest)
We are having coffee and cake at the farm on Sat. afternoon(2-4), so if anybody that may be driving by wants to stop and have a cup of coffee and wish Mom a Happy Birthday, they are more than welcome.
Nice picture of your mother Rod.Vida has always been a nice looking lady and I can see that the added years have not hampered her beauty one bit.As I remember your mother’s farm is located about 5 miles east of Bottineau, near the intersection of Highway 60 (Willow City Road) on the north side of road. She used to have a large wrought Iron horse at the mail box.It has been a number of years now since I have seen your mother. That last time I saw her was in the Bottineau Bowling Alley with your dad Howard. At the time your dad was on Dialysis and your mother was doing the driving. We had a nice chat.Please give your mother my regards when you see her.Gary
Rendahl picture
Reply from Myron Langehaug: Bottineau, ND
Norma, Looking at that picture leads me to believe that the middle row is of the Nelson girls, Abe and Mary Nelsons daughters. The boy on the left side could be Francis Atherton. The front row left I believe to be Carlyle Nelson and then the the three girls could be Mavis, Norma and Alice Atherton. The Athertons and Nelsons were first cousins. They did go to Rendahl church and the year 1940 seems to match the ages pretty close. My mother Mildred is not in the picture that I can see, she would have been the oldest Atherton girl at 16. I tried to email Gary and it all bounced back so I must not have a good address. It would be great to get a good copy of this photo as some in the picture are in the area.. Thanks Myron Langehaug
Thank you Myron for this reply.Susan Fassett is the holder of this Picture. I am very sure we can get a good copy.If there was a way we could get a copy of this photo to Carlyle Nelson, I am sure he would know all in this picture. Last I knew he was still living in Bottineau.Myron, with the Atherton girls being your aunts, I believe your hunch is right with that being Mavis, Norma and Alice Atherton.Gary

Turtle Mountain winter scenes copied from Glenore Larson Gross’ FB pictures
The Lake road south of Lake Metigoshe. This road should be familiar to a whole lot of you. The Ledolph Larson farm is located just over the crest of this hill and to the East (Right). The Manford Cain farm is located a short distance down the hill beyond the Larson farm also on the right. The Roland School was located on the west side of the road just north of the lake in this picture. There was a school in there and I think it was the Roland school? You can almost see the intersection of Highway 43 at the end of the road in this picture.
Ledalph Larson farm. Ledolph’s daughter, Glenore, is living there now.
Joke of the day
