We know Alfred Severt Gaard was born in Windom, Minn and married Amelia Urness in 1905 at Blue Earth, Minn. His father was John Gaard but we do not know the mother's name and we can't locate John on any Federal Census. He married a second time to Julia Scott but Alfred aka Fred lived with an Uncle? Tolan Gaard and is on the 1880 Federal Census as his son in the Blue Earth area. Julia Gaard remarried to Christ Wisness, New Libon, Ill. area in 1902 so John must have died prior to that date. This step-mother was at the funeral for Fred in Chippewa Falls, Wi in 1942.

I am looking for John Gaard who was the eldest brother of my great-grandfather, Severt Gaard. I understand that Alfred was raised by Severt and John (Jonas) elder sister Rachel (Rakel) and her husband Tollack Knutson. If you have a reference to the obituary for Fred, that might give me some additional information. I'm happy to share what I have.
