Anna Lone

Imagine my surprise when I opened the "Senior Scene," a supplement to our "Pioneer" newspaper and read the following:

"It was Hildur Lamon not Hildur Bauer's mother who homesteaded. Hildur's mother, Anna Lone, and her friend, Louise, and her dad moved to Pennington from South Dakota when Anna was about 22 years old. She homesteaded on 160 acres of land and built a house, or shanty as they were called, on Popple Lake. She lived on the homestead in the summer and worked in Cass Lake at various domestic jobs in the winter. Her future husband homesteaded on Burns Lake."

Interesting, huh?
