    Notes:


    REMEMBRANCES FROM FERN:

    There is no other church like Grace (Swedeburg). My father helped install the bell. I remember they installed it on a Saturday. How they did that back then, getting it way up there. . .
    Those wonderful stained glass windows - every time you look at them, they bring back memories.
    I remember one time they had to open the doors (North wall of the Sanctuary) because they had so many people in church.
    When I was in Confirmation class, we had to take our sermon notes in Swedish. That is until the war came, and we could only use one language.
    My mother used to say how Aunt Ellen was such a wonderful coo
    We lived down the hill from Uncle Will and Aunt Ellen and used to climb over the fence and go up and play at their place. I think we saw each other every day.
    When your Grandmother (Florence) and I talk, we sure do a lot of remembering and talking about when we were growing up.
