On December 15, 1896, Minnie Umland's mother died. A typical German peasant woman, Wilhelmina Bergman had worked hard all her life; she was inured to privations.
When she was a young girl in Prussia her mother had told her stories about the great reformist Martin Luther and these stories she had remembered and told her own
children in the New World. The coffin containing her remains was placed in a lumber-wagon and carried to the top of a pasture hill on the Bergman homestead.
There, beside the graves of the three Bergman children and Carl's father. (Two of their children died of scarlet fever; another died of a skin infection.)
Menia was deposited in the frozen earth. Minnie Umland, twenty at the time, had shortly before been delivered of her third baby. The thought of her mother in the lonely grave on the pasture hill was to haunt her the rest of her life. When her father, Carl Bergman, died April 1, 1906, the sixth and last mound was added to the little group of graves on the hill. A board fence was put around the graves to keep off the cattle, and a few evergreen trees were planted.
