The father farmed out 5 of the kids to farms in North Dakota took the oldest boy with him to Canada my grandmother never saw her dad and brother again She was 5 years old and an orphan. Luckily she kept track of her other siblings who were in farms too in the area. She went to Minnesota hecame a nurse in Minneapolis and took care of the people who had the Spanish Flu
