FREDRICKSON, Ruth Lindberg - I Ruth Lindberg was born in the year 1905 so i am celebrating my birthday along with Alberta's anniversary, this year our 75th. When 7 years old I started attending the Brandland school. The first winter i stayed at Hansel Johnson's home because it was too far to walk to school from home. I can remember that pot belly stove at school which gave out lots of heat when it got going. Some of my classmates whom I remember are Thor Johnson, Helge Hanson, Signe Anderson, Edith Danielson and Ole Helgren. We had double desks in school those days. The girls sat along one side of the room and the boys on the other. We used slates and slate pencils most of the time. I did not have many scribblers to work in. My first teacher was a lovely lady by the name of Miss Ruff. Another teacher I had was Ernest Anderson, a Swede who did not like his pupils to talk Swedish during recess, but we did anyway.

On Nov. 27, 1924 I married Holger Fredrickson, a newcomer to this country. The first 8 years we farmed in Ferintosh district then moved to New Norway where we farmed till 1960. We moved to the village of New Norway where Holger was mayor for 10 years. We have 6 children, Judy, Bill, Vern, Gordon, Sonja, and a daughter who died in infancy.

Judy married Lester Huolt and they farm in the New Norway district. They have 5 children, Fred, Shirley, (Mrs. Tom Durand), Regie, Teresa and Roger.

Bill married Marion Robinson from Coronation and they have 3 children. Bill operated a service station at Strathmore. He was killed in a tractor accident in 1974.

Vern married Lynne Rassmusson and they have 2 children. He works at the Stelco Steel Plant in Camrose and also farms in the New Norway district.

Gordon married Leona Florh. They have 4 children. They farm south of New Norway and Gordon also is a battery operator for Sun Oil. [**see below for a summary of Leona's obit ]

Sonja married Bendt Nielson of Randers, Denmark. They have 3 three children and make their home in Edmonton.
