      Sister Susan \u201cSusie\u201d Skinner<\/h2>\n

      Anna\u2019s sister Susie married Stephan Smith Skinner in Watertown, South Dakota. \u00a0She had 4 children with him. She\u00a0became very sick in 1903. I seem to remember seeing\u00a0she had\u00a0consumption, but I can’t find the source right now. Anna was living in Oregon at the time and moved back to be with her.\u00a0Susie died\u00a027 Apr 1904 in Watertown. Here’s an article from April 15, 1904.<\/p>\n

      Newspaper Articles About the Skinners<\/h2>\n

      Here’s a few articles. I think the first article is taking about S.S. Skinner’s father, who had the same name. The last article details the death of Susie’s husband only 1 year later. He drowned on Pelican Lake while duck hunting with a group of friends. He went missing at dusk and when his capsized boat was found the next morning a search party went looking for him. He was found\u00a0only 30 feet from the shore in water only 3 feet deep.\u00a0His feet were firmly imbedded\u00a0in the oozy mud on the bottom and had fallen backward. They guessed he had struggled so hard to extricate himself that his muscles cramped up and he fell backward,\u00a0unable to stand up again.<\/p>\n

      Who was\u00a0Herbert Skinner? He was Susie’s son.<\/p>\n

      It looks like they lived\u00a0with family in the area. First, who was Ole O. Grinde?<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. He was Bottolf’s brother.<\/strong>\u00a0He lived in the township of Norden, just below ND Clark\u2019s home.<\/li>\n
      2. Why didn’t Susie and Anna live with him?<\/strong> \u00a0I think Susie probably did, but\u00a0Anna lived with A. B. Anderson.<\/li>\n
      3. Who was A. B. Anderson?<\/strong> \u00a0Ole Grinde was married to Amelia Anderson. She was A. B. Anderson’s sister. In a sense, Anna ends up living with family. She was at least with relatives.<\/li>\n
      4. Did any other relatives live in the area?<\/strong> \u00a0Yes. I’m not sure how many, but Anna’s grandmother was also in the area. I’m guessing she was probably living with Ole. Her name was Anna Grinde.<\/li>\n
      5. Where does Anna Grinde fit in the family tree?<\/strong> Herbert Langdon is my 2nd great grandfather. Anna Grinde is\u00a0my 4th great grandmother.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Here\u2019s an email about Archie and Hattie gathered from Donna\u2019s research. I\u2019d love to see the rest, but this is all I have:<\/p>\n

          Archie was born in Deuel County in the Clear Lake, South Dakota area.\u00a0 His parents were Anna and Herbert Langdon.\u00a0 When Archie was a baby, they moved to the Yoncalla, Oregon area and lived there until Archie was about 13 years of age.\u00a0 They then moved back to the Clear Lake area.<\/p>\n

          Hattie Wohler was born in Brandt, South Dakota.\u00a0 Her parents were Carrie and Lars Wohler.\u00a0 They farmed in the Brandt South Dakota area for several years.\u00a0 When Hattie and her sisters and brothers were young, her parents were divorced.\u00a0 Her father moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota where he operated a hotel.\u00a0 Her mother stayed on the farm with the children and continued to operate the farm with the help of her son Henry.\u00a0 In later years, after her father Lars became ill, he returned to the Brandt area where he died.\u00a0 Both Hattie\u2019s parents are buried at the cemetery at Brandt, South Dakota.<\/p>\n

          Hattie and Archie were married in Brandt, South Dakota at the Highland Lutheran Church.\u00a0 They farmed a few years in the Brandt and Clear Lake area.\u00a0 They then moved to Watertown, South Dakota where Archie worked for the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad.\u00a0 He worked for the railroad until 1922 and lost his job because of the strike.\u00a0 He then worked at several other jobs until they moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 1925 with their eight children and Archie started working at the John Morrell Packing Plant.\u00a0 He worked there until his retirement in 1926.\u00a0 Shortly after Hattie and Archie moved to Sioux Falls, their son Loren Herbert (Lorraine\u2019s twin) died from spinal meningitis when he was approximately 9 months old.\u00a0 Hattie and Archie lived to celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary.\u00a0 They both died in Sioux Falls and are buried at the Hills of Rest Cemetery in Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n
