[5/28/19: SAN thinks this is in front of Bill's house.] p15: Rhoda, Lina, Alvin. p16: Lina next to grave marker for her grandfather Anders Andersen Ness in North Prarie Lutheran Cemetery in Arendahl MN. Cf.: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/117335247/anders-ness [5/28/19: SAN's online family tree lists Anders A. Ness 6/22/1821-2/06/1890, which matches the dates on the marker; the family tree database says Anders A. died in Norway, which must be wrong if he's buried here.] p17: Lina inside North Prarie Lutheran Church, Arendahl, MN. p18: Lina & ERN at North Prarie Lutheran Church / Cemetery, Arendahl, MN. Note that there are two Lutheran churches (North Prarie and Arendahl) and two Lutheran cemeteries (North Prarie and Arendahl) very close to one another.
