Dear Listers, Researching a certain Lerum family from Luster Co., Norway I have come across a daughter-in-law whose background is very «mysterious»: Margaret Lerum nee Haugen, supposedly born in San Francisco, CA Oct. 4, 1883, shortly thereafter returned to Norway with her parents, only to remigrate about 1906 to Minnesota! She married Joseph Lerum and died at Bemidji, MN July 31, 1961. Her obituary would be most welcome! Thanks a million in advance for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane
I know you are thorough and probably already have this information: Minnesota Death Certificate Index, Margaret Lerum: http://people.mnhs.org/finder/dci/1961-MN-000744 The Find-A-Grave web site for Greenwood Cemetery, Bemidji, Beltrami County, Minnesota has a page for Margaret Lerum, and quotes a short obituary attributed to:Bemidji Daily Pioneer, Aug 1, 1961. https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=113822174 Son, Roy H. Lerum's Find-A-Grave page (no info other than his mother's name and his sister's name for Find-A-Grave links) https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=114978328 MHS Death Certificate Index: http://people.mnhs.org/finder/dci/1963-MN-000823 Daughter, Mildred H. Lerum's Find-A-Grave page, has a very short two-paragraph obit from the Bemidji paper (there is only one paper in Bemidji) https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=119648418 MHS Birth Certificate Index (NB: note misspelling on first name): http://people.mnhs.org/finder/bci/1915-01620 MHS Death Certificate Index for Joe Lerum, died 22 January 1921 (I don't know where he is buried; he may have an unmarked grave with his wife and offspring.) http://people.mnhs.org/finder/dci/1921-MN-000576 Minnesota Official Marriage Index https://www.moms.mn.gov/ (I don't know why Margaret's surname is listed as Hill.) County Certificate Number Marriage Date Applicant 1 Applicant 2 BELTRAMI C/460 04/23/1909 LERUM, JOE HILL, MARGARET Apparently neither of their children ever married. 1920 US Census, Hagali Township, Beltrami County, Minnesota https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GR6G-9K8?mode=g&i=2&cc=1488411 The transcriber got the name wrong; I enlarged the image and it is Lerum, not Larum. It has Margaret born in Norway, immigration year 1906. Son Roy is listed as born in North Dakota. On 3/28/2017 7:24 AM, Lars E.
