As they got older and it was time to find an outside job, they headed west to Washington to their older brother's, John Crown. John got them jobs working for the railroad building a new line in the mountains of Idaho near St Regis and St Marie's. They lived in a tent camp in the mountains, next to a river and the railroad. A travelling man brought a bear that would box to the camp. He would pay a cash prize to anyone that could last so many rounds with the bear. Ed and George thought they could beat the bear, but they were wrong and the bear got the best of them. They had pitched their tents right along the edge of the river. The tents had wooden floors and one night they woke up because the floor and their cots were rocking. The water was almost up to the top of their cots. There had been a storm further up in the mountains and the water was coming down the canyon fast. They just got out of the tents and the tents were washed away. They barely made it to high ground. Upon their return to Minnesota, Ed and George began farming.1 |

Folmine Johanne Gronewold

Biography
Birth | 12 October 1882 | Birth: Folmine Johanne Gronewold was born on 12 October 1882 in GermanyB.1 |
Death | before 15 March 1884 | Death: Folmine Johanne Gronewold died before 15 March 1884. The date is based on him not being on the immigration list.2 |
Memo | | Folmine Johanne, born in Germany in 1882, was the fifth child born to John and Asa. No one had ever heard of Folmine until 1990 when his birth certificate was found in a book belonging to George Gronewold. No one can ever remember their folks talking about this family member. The birth certificate was written in German and upon translation it states "a child of feminine sex was born", however, any other reference to the children of John and Asa Gronewold is that of six sons and three daughters, making Folmine a boy and also the middle name "Johanne" is of male gender. So a mystery does remain whether this child was a son or a daughter.
At the time of Folmine's birth, John and Asa lived at Funnixer Neuen, Mitteldeich, Germany. Cora (George) Gronewold had written in her notes that a child, "little John" died when he was two and a half years old. There was no verification that this was Folmine and there is no mention of his emmigrating from Germany with the family in 1883, so it was surmised he died in infancy. However, in 1991, another clue was found. A vaccination certificate was located stating Folmine had been vaccinated in June 1883. That had to be just a few months before the family left for America. Did Folmine die from the vaccination, did he die aboard ship, or did he die in America at two and a half years as Cora Gronewold indicated. And why did none of his brothers or sisters ever mention him? So, the mystery continues.1 |
