Mom sent this cartoon to me the day Josh was born and addressed to the hospital. On the back was a note
Gale – your grandmother sent this to me the day you were born
I’ve attached a PDF at the bottom of the cartoon and mom’s note. I hope Stacey and Brandy may continue the tradition and mail it to their daughters on the day of the birth of their first child.
I wasn’t able to find much and would really like it if someone had more to offer on her lineage.
I included the immigration information for Anna in hopes it might lead to more information.
Lily, the first born, died when she was 14 leaving Mamie as the only girl with six brothers. I heard stories of how the Madsen boys would tease grandpa when he’d walk a long distance to visit my future grandmother, telling him she wasn’t worth the walk.
Grandpa was a twin and Lawrence and Louis Madsen were twins. Amazing there haven’t been any twins since. It looks like Louis may have been another casualty of WWI with his death in 1918.
Again, let me know about corrections or additional information so it can be added to the file.
