Note: AFN: QHHK-G3; Victoria Laird submission. From Grandma Myrtle's book, Memories. In about 1897, at age 25, Hilma and a
girl friend decided to go to Montana as they had heard there was plenty of work
and good wages. Their parents were horrified that two young ladies would dare
to go west where cowboys and Indians were shooting up the town. At the Great
Falls Scandinavian Methodist Church Hilma met Isaac Moe and they were married
in September of 1898. They had their wedding reception in the home Issac had
built and lived there all their lives, adding more rooms as the family grew to
four children.
Note: Christine Larson remembers that Hilma and Issac met and were married at
the church next door to the house that Joe and Hjalmer Fagenstrom built, in which Pete and Doris Cladouhos lived from `62-70, 1320 2nd Ave North - this was Hjalmer's family home, and Joe Fagenstrom lived with them there, and first kissed grandma Mytrle whilst sitting on the baywindow bench in the diningroom. When Pete and Doris went to buy this same house later, they took Joe and Myrtle over to see it, and Joe informed them that he had bulit the house and had even lived there. After moving into the house the Cladouhos children made Joe and Myrtle repeat the first kiss in the same place on the baywindow seat.
