Goodells, Luella and family in Carlton County about 1880 and beyond

SueDixey — 2013-05-10 13:46:36Z

Interested in connecting with Luella Goodell and her family from Carlton County. She and my grandmother Ida Viola Ostlund Olson must have been lifelong childhood friends, have postcards from Idas collection written and signed by Luella. I see on the Historical website is a group shot of her high school graduation from Barnum. Ida was a year older, not in the photo.

Anyone know the Goodells? Her dad was John Sprague and mother was Augusta it seems and was in the funeral business.

Andersons and Ostlunds in Carlton Co, 1880s to beyond

SueDixey — 2013-05-08 15:06:58Z

Hi All,

My John Oscar Ostlund b. 1849 in Sweden married Johannah Louisa Hammerland. They married in Sweden, had first 2 of thier 6 kids there before emmigrating to CarltonCo about 1882. Kids were Oscar, Walborg, Minnie, Ida, Emma and Albert. All married but Emma died as a baby and Albert remained single. Oscar had 2 children, Walborg 10 perhaps, Minnie 2 and Ida had my mother.

When John died in 1899, his obituay listed he left a surviving sister, Mrs. Anderson ( no first name unfortunately). My research suggest she is Mrs. Andrew Anderson, AKA Emma S. I cant find them in 1900 census, but 1910 census lists Andrew, Emma S and a daughter Lulu, age 19. She lists she had 4 children of which 2 were still living. They also list they had been married 39 years and both emmigrated in 1870 to the US.

Anyone know either family?

Albert C Engebritson died at St Marys Hospital Duluth. DOB Feb 2, 1862, Iowa, buried at Oneota Cemetery, Duluth. It's hard to read the cause of death, but it does not say TB. I could email the death cert if you want.

DarlaCarlson — 2013-04-18 07:18:22Z

I believe Albert about 60 yrs of age came to Nopeming soon after it opened. He died Dec 17, 1917. I would like to know if this is true, and if he did indeed die of TB.

Re: Gottfried Demlang in Cloquet

jokur996 — 2013-04-02 12:55:41Z

These are the correct people, however, Helene was born in Kozki, Russian Poland. The census taker made a mistake there, or she didn't want to admit being a German at that time. She was born 1884. I have their wedding certificate, her entry into the US, and family lore has her married to Arthur Rasmussen. I have family photos as well. I have them on censuses for Sheridan, MT since 1920, but not finding Demlangs.Thanks! Love the puzzle!

Re: Gottfried Demlang in Cloquet

falsterden — 2013-04-02 04:01:51Z

Do you know Gottfried's approximate year of birth (exact day/month/year even better)? Parents' names? These will help identify him in the USA.

> "Helene...ended up in North Dakota and Montana, but where did her parents go?"

Well, they may very well be found where she is found, which is....?

I'm a volunteer.

Re: Gottfried Demlang in Cloquet

jokur996 — 2013-04-02 03:04:58Z

Thanks. Helene lived in Culbertson MT for a time, and married Arthur A. Rasmussen in Plentywood, MT 1916 and they had two daughters, June and Mae. They were farmers near Sheridan MT. Arthur died around 1961, I do not have that info on Helene. I have searched that area for her parents, and not found them.

Re: Gottfried Demlang in Cloquet

jokur996 — 2013-04-02 02:07:32Z

You have the correct Adolph Tonn. The original passenger transcript (14 Apr 1903)was clear about Gottfried Demlang being Adolph Tonn's "bil" at Cloquet, MN and the destination as well. Gottfried paid for the passage.

Wilhelmine Dimlony and Helene Dimlony arrived together Nov 12,1901 on the ship Vaderland from Antwerp to meet Gottfried Demlang at Hennepin Ave in Minneapolis. The handwriting was read as Dimlony instead of Demlang. They were born in Kozki, Russian Poland. Wilhelmine born 1873 and Helene born 1893.Emilie Kalis/kaliv is next to them as meeting a brother in law,and she is also from the same town. A relative as well?

Helene was a witness to Adolph and Myrtle's wedding at Virginia, MN. She signed the certificate. She ended up in North Dakota and Montana, but where did her parents go?

How does this interest you? Thanks for any information you can provide. There are many Demlangs in the Ancestry records, but none fit the ones I am searching for.

I am searching for a death date, obituary, or cemetery record of Herman and Fredricka Hanneman who lived in Barnum, Minnesota around 1900 to 1910. I have census records that indicate they lived there in 1900 and 1910. I believe they had two or three daughters. Fredricka was a sister to my Great grandfather August Rupnow. I believe there were two other brothers in Germany. She immigrated to the US in 1893.

Re: Cloquet Cemetery Lookup

smhalli — 2012-10-16 00:20:17Z

I think that the only cemetery in cloquet at that time was the Calvary/Hillcrest cemetary. Its located next to Pinehurst park in the middle of town. Otherwise the Maple Grove cemetery on Big Lake Rd. just west of town might have been around at that time. Hopefully this helps a little bit.

Re: Nopeming Tuberculosis Sanitarium: How to Locate Info.?

kingsgarden4 — 2012-08-30 02:10:47Z

My mother, Cecilia (Maloney) Allee was in the Nopeming Tuberculosis Sanitarium from late 1945 to sometime in 1948/1949. My younger brother was born in the sanitarium and immediately placed into a foster home, as my father had to work and wasn't able to take care of an infant. All I remember her saying about it was she spent a lot of time crocheting and doing jigsaw puzzles. As I was not yet 3 years old when she went in, I had little memory of my mother. One time my Dad took me to see her which meant I stood out in the grounds and looked up at a lady looking out of a window on the top floor, who I was told was my mother. There were six of us kids at that time. When mother was released they started with the oldest child coming home, then the next oldest etc. Not too long after we were all back home we moved from Minnesota out to Oregon.

Cloquet Indian Hospital help needed

Delayne_Duhaime — 2012-08-23 18:29:12Z

My dad and all his siblings were born in the 1930's at the Cloquet Indian Hospital. Are records from this hospital held any where? What happened to these records and how can I access them?

My family is from Grand Portage and there were several families who gave birth at this hospital. Is there a reason people traveled so far to have their children in those days?

Thank you,
Delayne

Help needed with a Marriage- Divorce record for John Rousseau

Delayne_Duhaime — 2012-08-09 14:19:56Z

My great grandfather was John Jonas Rousseau born May 17, 1875 in Beaver Island, Michigan.

He told his family he moved to Minnesota in 1900 and married a woman from the Fon du lac Reservation. They had one daughter together. I do not know either of the women's names. He remarried in Grand Marais and none of his family ever met this first child.

In 1910 John Rousseau was living in Cook County, Minnesota and according to the census he was divorced.

Is there anyone who would be willing to search Carlton County for the marriage and / or divorce record for John Rousseau for me. I am willing to pay costs. The marriage and divorce would have been between 1900 and 1910.

Does Fon du lac have there own vital record holdings? Or would this be at the county level?

Thank you,
Delayne

Hi: My a Wakefield, cousin to Junie and niece to Clara. Ruth had a daughter whose name is also Ruth. I believe William adopted her. Junie and Gerald (Buck) Bloomquist had 6 children, and I believe they are still alive although I haven't corresponded with them in years. June passed away from cancer, and I lost touch with Gerald a couple of years ago when he didn't reply to a holiday card, something he did every year. I have Ruth's daughter's name but haven't heard from her in 2 years. I possibly have an area where she currently lives.

rosemwc — 2012-01-22 20:43:26Z

I am researching the family of Edward P Wakefield and Martha Smith. Their sixth child was born Oct 25 1902 in Aitken Co, MN. I don't know the other 5 siblings names.

There is no first name on her birth certificate but I believe she is Clara. I think she had two daughters:

1. June Gladys Wakefield born 1921 who married Gerald Bloomquist, they may have had 3 children.

2. Ruth

Clara married William McCarthy and they lived in Cloquet, MN. Clara and William are buried at New Calvary Cemetery, Cloquet. Clara died 1959. Want to get in touch with her daughter's family members. William McCarthy is my great uncle.

I am willing to exchange information. Thanks
