"First written as apart of a personal history writing class…between 1994 and 2000…For the Thal kids our lives were typical of the rest of the town, but with one exception: our Grandpa and Grandma Thal were Jews who had emigrated from Germany in 1882. Their oldest son Abraham, my dad married Ida Ellingboe, a Norwegian Lutheran school teacher…My Uncle Gus married a Methodist, and lonly Alfred managed to find himself a Jewish wife. So being ‘Jew' didn't mean much to us kids."; "In Part Two, I have edited and reprinted a story told by Grandma Thal…that describes…the harshness of homesteading in the new land. It was first published in a book, Pioneer stories written by people of Nelson county, N.D." Received from the Carl Solberg estate, 2003.; Born 1916, Thal graduated from St. Olaf College in 1938, earned graduate degrees from the University of Iowa and Teachers College, Columbia University.
