Although she only had 2 sons, when her eldest son, William, was in his early teens, his best friend was Donald Mathias Seger. Don's mother had passed away, his father had remarried, and his new wife didn't want the children. My grandmother took Don in and raised him as her own. Don is buried in Phoenix, Az, Memorial #27699740.
My grandmother was an amazing woman. Her father had died when she was very young, and she, along with 6 young siblings, was raised by her now single mother, who never re-married. At the time of her father Lars's death, her mother, Dora, was pregnant. I think it prepared my grandmother for the difficult road ahead, when her husband, William (buried in Prescott, AZ), had difficulty 'finding himself' and was frequently out of work.
Erna was the food service manager for a conglomeration of race tracks in the Chicago area.
She died of metastatic breast cancer while on a visit to relatives in Phoenix, Arizona.
