Any information would be appreciated.

Deed 1919 from Harvey Harnden to Nerheim family giving part of Harnden plot in White Cemetery to Nerheims. Harvey H was president of the White Cemetery Association that year and the deed says at the bottom in what looks like his handwriting, "My grandmother's maiden name was Nernheim" (he says Nernheim, the tombstones say Nerheim). His maternal grandmother was Laura Rising White. Wondering if Lefa might have been born Nerheim, then married a Pidge, gotten widowed, and remarried to JS Harnden. Many Nerheim families were from Sweden or Norway. Is Lefa a Swedish or Norwegian name? Or is the note on the deed not by H.A. Harnden, and his reason for giving the plot to the Nerheims unknown?

Found a note that makes it clear Frederick Olson wrote the line about his grandmother's maiden name at the bottom of the deed. The Nerheims and Harndens are not related.
