From Audrey Hanson Aitchison: Bottineau, ND.
Hi,
Thanks for all the emails. I have a couple more things for your email:
Patrina Hanson celebrated her 95th birthday on March 20, 1949. There were 40 relatives and friends there. She received a rocking chair. Reverend T. Weltzin spoke a Norwegian message. Patrina was 27 when she came to America. Martin Larson was her only living relative at her party. Does anyone remember where Hagrop and Patrina lived?
6-7-1953 Martin Larson, 94, was confined to his bed for 4 years. He lived at 415 – 5th Street East. I believe Dr. Gerald Sveen bought this property later. Emma Perkins, Martin’s daughter was his faithful nurse for the last 4 years. Emma is one of 3 living daughters. Martin was born 6-6-1859 and died 12-1-1953. They had 10 kids: Ludwig, Elmer, Mensvil, Hildor, Arthur, Minnie, Emma, Clara, Maybelle, and Norbert Larson. Martin was married to Nikoline Adrine (Hanson). She was born in 1856 and died in 1923
David William Pladson, son of Eldon and Ella Pladson of Dunseith,was born 8-22-1955 and died 3-5-1957. I don’t know the cause of his death.
Thank you.

Folks, Audrey is my first cousin and also a first cousin to the Morinville siblings.
Audrey, Thank you so much for this bit of history. I knew you were related to Dianne and Cheryl Larson, but I did not realize that you guys are as closely related as you are. Reading this history It appears their Grandfather and your Grandmother were siblings. I remember Reverend Weltzin too. He was the pastor for the Metigoshe Lutheran churches when my folks were confirmed members of Salem in the early 50’s.
I remember the death of David Pladson too. I believe the Pladson family was living on the Zieman place west of Salem Church when he died. Keith and Florence, please correct me if I’m wrong. I remember visiting the Pladson’s at that time along with Gladys Rude. That is a memory that has always been stuck in my mind. LaVerne Rude, I don’t remember if you were along when our mothers visited the Pladson’s or not. I kind of think you were, but I’m not sure.

Gary and Friends,
Thanks to Peggy Wurgler Axtman for filling us in on the
Lider-Halvorson wedding picture. I think it’s great to get names and
dates on these pieces of old Dunseith history. Nice work, Peggy! Thanks
Gary!

Scenes from the Alaska cruise:
Ice in the water from the glacier. Because of the Ice we had to turn around and go back.
We were unable to see the Glacier. Alaska has some pretty rugged untouched country.
