 FAMILY HISTORY:

I asked Aunt Wanda why Uncle Al left. She said Charlie was dying of lung cancer this was mid fifties. Al came and painted the house. He wanted to bury him St.Cloud MN because there were five plots there. Nellie said no and asked him to leave. Pretty sure the exchange was less than amicable. Al stopped to talk with Paul and Wanda. They did not hear a thing until they got a telegram from St.Cloud VA.  Al was admitted. They drove to see him , visited and got things arranged. There was a brother, Ellis Berglund. HD was in his twenties, HD wad in the Army, on a ship. He got the Spanish Influenza and died, not married. U clearly Al was in the Coast Guard. He was married five times, one wife worked in the PO in San Francjsco. Al spoke Swedish, English and Spanish.

I asked about Aunt Dorothy who was Nellie's sister.
