A Tour, The Old Homestead, & the Cemetery











A Tour. Our tour began at Moose Lake Resort with a wonderful pontoon ride around the lake. This is the area that Mom was familiar with in her "growing up" years. The Old Homestead. This is the house that she grew up in however, it was moved to a new location, so this isn't the "actual" homestead, but it is the actual house. The Cemetery. After leaving Pennington, we decided to eat at Stony Point Resort on our way to the cemetery in Cass Lake...& you can see that we located the place that both Anna & Ingvald reside in today. We really looked to find these markers and Mom said that it was the first time that she hadn't just driven/walked right up to the spot. So, it was a good thing that Gary, Nancy, Dale & Lois (&, of course, Dad) were with, too. Gary & Dale took time to "map out" the actual spot. I think we all had a very nice day...
When we drove up to the homestead, I turned and looked at the road/avenue sign, and the name of the road, & I kid you not, was "Canvasback Dr." (Dad referred to Mom as "old canvasback," when we were kids because she liked naps!

The grave sites are in Block C at the Cass Lake Cemetery (Pine Grove Cementery)-Mom's grandma and some others are there as well.
