Cora (Dalager) Anderson: Lavilla (Dalager) Peterson remembers

Cora was married to Adolph Anderson. Adolph was a farmer and their farm was in the Garfield area. Adolph was killed in an accident. What kind of accident? _______ ______________________Cora was a teacher before she was married. All the girls in the second family were teachers except Tillie.

Their sister Alma died from an appendicitis when she was about 7. Lavilla said that she remembered Karl, my dad, coming to visit Amelia. Lavilla thought every thing was fine between them.

Lavilla did not remember much concerning the death of Hans. She was 7 years and Lucille was 5. She remembered that someone told them to get up because Papa had died. They kept the body in the home in those days until the funeral. She remembers seeing Hans lying on the bed.

    I am the son of Donald A Anderson and grandson of Adolf and Cora. Adolf was killed in a car accident west of Alexandria MN. Another vehicle pulled out to pass someone and hit Adolf’s car head on. Adolf was killed and Cora was hospitalized. She hit her head on the windshield. I have a lot of info and pictures from the family in an old trunk which I got after my mon, Irene, passed away in Nov 2008. My dad, Donald passed away in April, 2003.
