The October 25, 1944, edition of the Brainerd newspaper noted that Mrs. John Everson was re-elected secretary-treasurer of the Deerwood Farm Bureau.

Mabel, her brother Carl, and their mother attended Gladys Bergstrom’s funeral in Duluth in 1946.

In May of 1953, Mabel was elected to the Deerwood school board. She and Kenneth Burns were unopposed. Mabel got 22 out of the 23 votes cast.

She apparently had hip surgery in late 1997 or very early 1998.

Mabel’s obituary, as it appeared in the Crosby-Ironton Courier on Wednesday, October 20th:

From a history of the Miners Hospital in Crosby:

Mabel Landstrom Everson remembers the early Miners Hospital

(a 1972 interview with Maryon Aulie)

"In those days, Dr. Shannon did most of the deliveries of babies. I would get the mothers and the room ready for the delivery. They had their babies right in the same room. There was no delivery room. We would bring a basket in for the baby. After the baby was born, we would take the basket into the X-ray room which we used for a nursery. We would carry the baby in to the mother to nurse but she didn’t keep the baby in the same room with her. The mothers stayed in the hospital eight to ten days. One time, when the nurses were gone on vacation, I was there alone when Dr. Shannon brought in a girl for delivery and I had to help. After the baby was born, Dr. Shannon said, ‘Oh, there’s another one!’ My first time helping with twins.

"We started work at 7:00 am and worked 12 hour shifts, either the day shift or the night shift. I can’t remember too many days off. We took temperatures first thing in the morning - we had a thermometer in a little jar of alcohol - and then we carried breakfast trays. The trays came up from the kitchen on the dumb waiter. Margaret Kellerman was the cook. She lived right there at the hospital with her little boy, Crone. I lived at the hospital too, up on the third floor. I shared a room with Fran Stark and Mabel Hasskamp who was a nurse’s aide too. We got our room and board plus $25 a month. After I had worked there two years, I got raised to $45 a month. But then I quit and got married.

"When you walked in the front of the hospital, Dr. Smith and Dr. Shannon each had an office, one on each side of the hall. There was a roll-top desk in Dr. Smith’s office and some cupboards that held all the medicines and instruments. They had jars of pills and jars of powders; sometime they would mix together the different types of powders into a prescription for a sick child. Dr. Smith kept all the patients’ records on a big spindle on his desk. The walls [of the rooms] were plastered, with hardwood floors. A stairway went up to the second floor where the patients’ rooms and the operating room was. One was a kitchen and two extra patients’ rooms. There was room for about 14 or 15 patients."

Of her own experience as a patient at the age of 12, Everson recalled: "My father just drove me up to the hospital and gave me a quarter and let me off. I went in all by myself and told them I came to get my tonsils out. They were really big ones. That night I got to walk uptown and spend part of my quarter for some peppermints. I almost lost my way coming back to the hospital but everyone trusted that I could take care of myself. The next morning, Dr. Shannon came in and put the ether over my nose and I remember fighting real hard. Then, after I woke up, I vomited and vomited all day. I stayed there two days and two nights. A tonsillectomy cost $15 in those days, including room and board. A baby delivery cost $45, including room and board. If you were a miner or a miner’s child, you didn’t pay anything because it was all in the mining contract. I remember the rivalry between the Miners Hospital and the other hospital on 1st Street called the Cuyuna Range Hospital owned by Drs. Hallenback and Pengilly. They each tried to get the most patients.

"Mabel Hasskamp worked there even after I did. After I got married, Dr. Smith delivered my babies at Miners Hospital. I remember when I had my first baby girl, Mrs. Smith came to see me and brought her little boy, Baxter, along. He (the little boy) wanted to know the baby’s name. He wanted me to name her Elaine. That was his favorite name. He grew up and married an Elaine."

... and from another interview, probably in the same publication:

My thoughts drift back ten years further to the 1920s, to Mabel Landstrom Everson’s account of going to work for Doctors Smith and Shannon right after graduation from high school. "I had what you might call ‘on the job training’ and got broken into working right away. By the second day, they showed me how to mix a hypo with the syringe and the powder and draw up the solution, all the sterile methods used. I worked with the charge nurse who was Lydia Halden from Aitkin and also a nurse named Barbara Friedstrom who used to come from Brainerd for special duty. We worked to take care of five or six patients, gave baths, and helped in the operating room too. They did tonsillectomies and appendectomies and gall bladders in those days. Dr. Shannon gave the anesthesia and Dr. Smith did the tonsillectomies."

Mabel’s Minnesota Practical Nurse License was No. 17728 and was valid through March 15, 1972, and perhaps later.

She made her claim on Social Security on 4 Oct 1973 through the Bemidji field office.
