I am researching Oscar and Carrie LUNDER as well as Samuel and Myrtle MILLER.
Samuel and Myrtle MILLER owned a furniture, hardware and undertaking business in Rothsay. Myrtle was born in Rothsay in 1903. Any info would be appreciated.
Would like to know if Oscar and Carrie came to the U.S. from Norway or if they were born in the U.S. Carrie's maiden name was KNUDSEN.
Thanks. brendak01@comcast.net

There are lots of memories from the corner where the Farmer's Grain and Mercantile elevator still stands. I remember going into the cafe owned by Rollie's and getting a Rocky road ice cream cone for a nickel.

Hi. I'm hoping to find any information on my gggrandmother, Phoebe (LOTHROP) MERRILL, her daughter Phoebe )MERRILL) O'BRIEN and son-in-law, Michael J. O'BRIEN. Phoebe and Michael married in Alpena, MI in 1883, so must have moved to MN after that. Phoebe (LOTHROP) MERRILL moved to stay with her sons in Missouri after the death of her husband, Samuel MERRILL in 1866 (in Northumberland Co., Ontario, Canada); she was with one son in MO in 1870 census in MO and with another in 1880, also in MO. I've also been told that Phoebe (mother) was born 19 Nov 1807 in NY and that she died 18 Aug 1896 in or near Breckenridge, MN. It may be that her daughter and son-in-law (above-mentioned) moved to MN and she stayed with them there until her death. I'm seeking any information about these three, and would be very happy to share what I know about the rest of the MERRILL family.

Looking for any information on John and Martha ENNIS family. I find them on the 1905 State Survey in Sunny Side, Wilkin County, MN. We know the family was in Illinois in 1900 and came back to Illinois by 1910. Family lore is that these were tough years for farmers and they didn't like the cold. My grandmother Olive ENNIS was the oldest child in the family.
Looking for any info anybody might have from papers, obits etc. Possible one of the children may have died in MN.
