Notes
a. Note:   [] Memories of Martin Paul Gunderson by his grandson, Ronald Paul Nelson. A gentle man. Would rather give a man a $10 bill than have a mad argument with him. He worked 40+ years for the W.S. Knott Co. in Minneapolis - many years. He made up the huge leather belting between the steam engine and the thrasher in harvesting - gluing up hides. Belts were 1/2 " to 5/8 " thick, 6" to 8" wide, endless and probably 100 feet long. When he lived with us (in Grand Forks, ND) he made one trip back to WS Knott to make streetcar hanger straps for the City of Chicago. This enabled him to get a slight Social Security pension. He said it kept him in "Smokies". He smoked cigars upright in a pipe. He glued up all the broken chairs in our neighborhood - would help any and all when he could. When he went out to shovel the walk after a snow he kept going down the street and cleaned many neighbors walks. He lived in the Lutheran "old folks" home in Grand Forks the last one or two years of his life (before then with our parents). When he and Grandma Gunderson were to come to Grand Forks when he retired they were to buy a home on the river. They had picked it out. They sold their Minneapolis home and had "Going Away Parties" at Sons of Norway, Daughters of Norway, Hope Lutheran Church, and neighborhood friends - busy for almost two weeks. Grandma Gunderson died in her sleep the night before they were to drive to Grand Forks. (See more memories in More About Anna Gunderson)
