What is a history center good for anyways?
Well just ask this lovely mother and daughter team that showed up to do some family research today.
During their visit they were able to clear up one family mystery.
On the right of the photos is Carol Lysnt who's grandparents farmed in Hillman. Carol spent very happy summers from 1947 - 1951 visiting the big family on the farm. The farm had ice house, big red barn, pump house, farmhouse, horses, cows, chickens, pigs, and a big vegetable garden. Her grandfathers parents had immigrated here from Sweden in 1894 and raised their children here.
On the left is Jean Franklin, visiting from Downers Grove, IL she came to Mora to visit cemeteries & see records of her mother's family who lived in Haybrook. Jean said "My mom tells many stories of visiting their farm as a child".
The mystery? Why did they find two different dates for Nels death? Turns out one was the father and the other was his son who had never married or moved.
Thank you ladies for your visit today! It was a pleasure to meet you both.
