Gust Westman was 19 when he came to Stambaugh in 1900. In 1905 he married Sena Lindahl of Beechwood. Sena was the second oldest of the 10 children of Gust and Emma Lindahl. Before she was married, she worked for Carrie Jacobs Bond and her husband, Dr. Bond. Sena was working for them when Dr. Bond was accidentally knocked off the sidewalk in Iron River. She then obtained employment from the Pat O'Brien family, where she stayed for five years.
Sena and Gust were both hard workers at First Lutheran Church in Iron River. Gust was a Sunday School teacher and deacon and Young People's leader at the First Lutheran Church. Sena worked in the Ladies Aid and missionary society. They worked and gave to build a new church. Gust even became a deputy sheriff and protected the tents by night at the fairgrounds - which the churchwomen used by day to sell pasties for the benefit of the church.
Sena was an excellent housekeeper and cake maker. She sold cakes to Dr. Vilas' wife and other prominent women of the twin cities (Stambaugh and Iron River). Sena loved her family, and neighbors, friends and relatives - and devoted herself to them. Gust loved the outdoors and was an ardent trout fisherman, and also speared whitefish during the winter months. He also made fishing nets, tied flies, made fishing shacks and spears, as well as boats in his leisure time. Gust and Sena also gardened. Gust enjoyed politics. He was a school board member of the Stambaugh High School in the 1930s, and was instrumental in getting garages built for the school buses. He was also a city commissioner in Stambaugh. He had many friends in many walks of life, and enjoyed entertaining them with fish boils and frys and steaks at his "Svea Hotel" - his one-room shack about 6 miles out of Iron River on the way to Beechwood.
One of the sisters of Gust, Christine, married an Englishman, John Marshall, and lived in Canada and had a family of seven. The Gust Westman family went to Canada three times to visit with Christine and her family. There were 27 at a family reunion there in 1950. Christine lived to be 96.
Gust and Sena had two children: Margareth, born in 1910, and Ann in 1912. Margareth obtained employment at the Brule Mining Office, and after one year, the Brule and Berkshire closed and 350 men were laidoff as well as the office workers. She then obtained employment at Lindahl Chevrolet Garage at Iron River, where she worked for 37 years. She also worked for the War Department from 1940-1943 during wartime under civil service. She now lives with her husband Edmund Johnson at Woodridge Apartments on Selden Road.
Ann Westman graduated from Stout State University in 1933 and taught at Watersmeet and Oconto Falls until she married Martin Golden in 1941. They have four children: George, Naomi, Gail and Peter, and six grandchildren, and make their home at Chute Lake 5 miles from Mountain, Wisconsin - where their children and grandchildren love to come and enjoy the lake in the summer, and snowmobile, ski and skate in the winter.
OBITUARY of Margareth Johnson 2005 says Sena (Lindahl) Westman was her mother.
OBITUARY of Gust Westman 1958 says he married Sena Lindahl, formerly of Beechwood, on June 21 1905 in Stambaugh. They observed their 50th anniversary in 1955.
