 General Notes:
She was able to raise the children after the death of her husband, because he had purchased a $10, 000 life insurance policy shortly before he died. In fact, he had not wanted to buy the insurance, but the salesman said he would pay the first month's premium for him. It is believed that he died within the month. Also, when the children were old enough to work, they gave their earnings to her to help meet living expenses. (From a conversation with Viola (Spitzer) Wiedmann, July 23,1998 at her home in Ashley, North Dakota)
