- 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
