My Grandpa B (same last name as yours) did time in Joliet Prison and was married to his 3rd or 4th wife (w/o any previous divorces) when he died. Its amazing what you can find out doing geneology. Like 5-6 generations of B's in Sweden with all children listed as illegitimate. Seems that they refused to participate in the state Lutheran Church so the Church did not recognize their marriages.Mr. Flanneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607383880009874741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968234236921028874.post-83792894065957121282009-10-29T20:22:11.297-05:002009-10-29T20:22:11.297-05:00What a treasure!

My grandparents and thus my dad and his brothers and sister lived in a great farm house in the middle of a wheat field in Idaho. The house got burned down after it sat empty for a long time. I have a couple of things from the house and cherish them. Thanks for sharing your great story.marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696555793202390984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968234236921028874.post-33926670489443477102009-10-22T10:42:24.162-05:002009-10-22T10:42:24.162-05:00Oh that is such a cool rememberence !

Now to have such a personal item from his childhood home is so neat. You know how everyone grabs that post as they come up and down the stairs, think of all the family vibes that reside in that wood ! It looks beautiful finished too. BTW, my aunt married a Bergstrom. . . . .so I have many Bergstrom cousins ! I think her in-laws came from the Chicago area though, and I do not know where they came from before that. Her inlaws were Olaf and Christine Bergstrom. <br /><br />hey, if you are interested in a fat quarter giveaway ( and not just one or 2. . . she is giving away LOTS of FQs ! ) , I have a link to one on my blog. . . why am I telling you this, it just decreases MY chances ! duh ! <br /><br />later<br /><br />BethWillow Lake Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940831937026281263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968234236921028874.post-57172847294792729732009-10-22T10:35:34.320-05:002009-10-22T10:35:34.320-05:00What a beautiful story.
