Edwin and Jenny lived at 103 Terrace Hill in Brantford and belonged to the Faith Evangical Lutheran Church. On June 29, 1917 Edwin had a heart attack and died. He is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery along with his son Eimer. Jenny was unable to find means of support for her family so she began looking for some help from family in the United States. After several months her sister in South Dakota offered to take them in on a farm near Alcester, South Dakota, USA. In January of 1918 Jenny and the children arrived by train in a snow storm. Several members of the family have come to Brantford to visit the place of our parent's birth. It is a beautiful city.
