Individual Details
Ellen Sigrid Staberg
(27 Feb 1880 - 18 Jun 1964)
John and Ellen's son, Ed Olson, wrote about his parents in 1974; "Ellen Stageberg and Jonas Emauel Olson were married on November 19, 1902 in Stillwater, Minnesota. They lived in Lakeland for the first years of their married life while Jonas worked at the sawmill until they decided to buy a farm in Milaca, Minnesota where they brushed eighty acres for tillage. Ellen enjoyed knitting and crocheting and was clerk of the school board for 12 years. They celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary in 1952."
