109 years ago today, my Grandma
Margaret Lucille Houselog Blomgren was born. Here is some biographical
information from find a grave:
Margaret L. Blomgren was born on May
31, 1905 in Grant County, Wisc. to Henry and Lena (Demuth) Houselog. When she
was five years old the family moved to a farm near Hatfield where she attended
school for eight years and then attended Pipestone High School and also one
year of normal training at Pipestone. Margaret taught school for six years east
of Hatfield and later substituted at Elkton. On June 16, 1930, she married
Clarence Blomgren at Woodstock and they lived on a farm near Pipestone until
1937 when they moved to a farm northeast of Elkton. Clarence preceded her in
death on March 15, 1970 and she moved into Elkton in December 1970. She entered
Riverview Manor in October of 1994.
