  Notes	transcript of a letter written by Martha Anderson to David Johnson in S eptember 1988 Dear Dave You gave me a pleasant surprise. I was so pleased to get your let ter. So I will try and let you in on my very young days with Gpa and G ma Roberg. Gma and I were good friends and when Gpa went to South Dako ta (he had bought land) and he would be gone for two weeks at the time I w ould stay with her--it was lonesome for me. Gma would get up early, mi lk her cows, take care of the chickens, etc.. The hired man would care f or the hogs and do the field work. Gma went to bed early, so did I. I w ould walk about a mile to get the mail, help Gma pick eggs. I would ca y only one gallon of water to the house at a time to fillt he water c ock. More to fill the reservoir for dishes and baths, for scrubbing f loors, etc.. Gma was very particular and clean. Gpa was more distant, he wasn't as close to us kids or maybe that w as our idea. When it was chilly weather Gma had a little heating stove i her bedroom upstairs to build a fire. Oh! I can remember how cozy i t was. Then before we went to bed she would read the Bible. Then we w ould both say our Norwegian Lords prayer (I can still say it). I can remember that was when Gpa was in South Dakota and Herman My er the hired man, Gma and I were sitting at the dinner table. Gma told m e to say the table prayer and to be silly I started out saying the Lord s prayer. Gma said no no. Herman started to laugh but he quit in a hu y when he saw Gma's expression and when we were doing the dishes she s aid--I don't want you to ever do that again. It seems like we listened t o our parents, grandparents in those days. Aunt Sophie and I got along so wonderful. She would come in the f all of the year and stay a month. I could drive the car then. We'd go v isit her old neighbors and dear friends she called them. Your Gpa and G ma Johnson would always take us along to Winner then to Sioux Falls to s ee Auntie. That's why I love your Gma Mmildred and Herman for being so g ood to me. I dont know to this day what I would of done if they hadn't b een with me when Roy was so ill with cancer. When he passed away they w ere right with me. Yes, Sena took the wrong road in her life and Esther and Clara had t o be taken from her. She had one man after the other--finally she left , was gone and nobody heard from her again. Such a sad life. But the g irls didn't suffer, they had a good Christian home. People by the name o f Bruland raised them. Esther still lives in Omaha. Clara passed away m any years ago. Dave you may have to change my letter quite a bit. You suit yours elf. I'm not much of a letter write. Would you mind, when you find ou t when Gpa and Gma Johnson celebrate their 50th to let me know. I woul d appreciate that. What did you name your little girl? What is your w ife's name? Best to you and your family from Martha [written by Dave Johnson:] Martha's dad was Severin Roberg (son of And ers Roberg)
