Bio and Links
There is illness in my family right now. So give me a week at least to try and catch up. It is still fine to go ahead & ask for transfers & updates through the individual memorial edit button. Just know I do not have much free time just now.

If you are a closer relative than I am & would like a transfer, don't be afraid to ask.
I do NOT strictly adhere to the Find A Grave guidelines regarding transfers.

I want to make this more of a family record, than just a cemetery record. On newer records I've tried to keep it more to a minimum. I believe these are for the closer family to decide.

For the generations that came before us & those that will come after us.

A work this large could not be done without the help of others.

I would especially like to thank Karen K.
The cemeteries around Stumptown in Union Township would not be the same without her.

Do keep in mind, that the last name of a married woman etched on a stone, may not be the last name that she had when she died.

All mistakes are mine & mine alone.

PLEASE if putting flowers on the memorial of the plain people...PLAIN flowers. They led the simple life for A reason.
A few of the young men were drafted & served in the medical corp during the Civil War..again PLEASE simple flowers
ALSO they do NOT celebrate birthdates or death dates of the dec'd
NOR do they celebrate Halloween
ALSO they do NOT have "pictures" of Jesus or angels in their Bibles or in their homes

Jeff Gonyea on his profile has the following:

"We don't "own" the memorials we manage - they are not ours. We may create them, we may update them, we may transfer them to others - we are but stewards. They are Find A Grave memorials of human beings, departed. They are not "friends" on a social media network website to be collected like baseball trading cards. And there's no prize for the one who dies with the most.

The reward (for me) comes from maintaining the most accurate and dignified memorials I can. What we record becomes history, and a record in someone else's family tree. We have a responsibility to do a good job of it. It's a privilege and honor."

Thank you for Norse Character
Hi Linda!

Thank you so much for providing the "ø" for my Henrik E. Hjødlo memorial page. Sometimes the simplest details escape us and we need a hand like you gave me.

Here is his updated bio for you to enjoy reading:

Henrik E. Hjødlo was a farmer up slope from Odda in Hardanger, Norway on a geologic shelf which is where the farm name originated. He married Rannvei from the adjacent ragde farm and they had eight children:

1844 Martha
1846 Elias
1849 Margreta
1853 Ole
1856 Jacob
1859 Gjøa
1862 Henrik "Henry"
1866 Rannvei (died as an infant)

Of these eight children all left to make their new home in America in the 1870's and 1880's and only Henry returned after his wife's and mother's deaths when he found and made a new bride of Bertha Froyness. The children all settled in the small border areas of Colton, SD, Garretson, SD and Beaver Creek, MN. Henry also lived to be 101 and rec'd a letter from the Office of President Kennedy in 1963 to congratulate him on such a major life milestone.

RE: Madlem
I guess I don't understand why you thought I didn't know how to link family members. I have been doing this for a long time.
