    Notes 
    • Odd calls her Marie Sæther, born 1886. That is her name in the Kristiansund emigration records for her departure with her brother and mother on May 4, 1887.

      Also called Mary.

      In the 1900 census (June 21st), 15 year-old Mary Rasmussen, born in Norway in March, 1885, is a servant for, and living with, the Frank Seavey family in Aitkin Village in the township of Aitkin in Aitkin County, Minnesota.

      In the 1901 Superior city directory, she is Mary Rasmussen, seamstress, living at 432 Clough, the address of her father.

      Marie and Irene were living in Los Angeles at the time of the 1930 census. Since Sandy is still living in Minneapolis in the house that he and Marie and Irene lived in in 1920, Marie must have left Sandy. In the 1930 census, Marie, 45, is shown as still married and was first married at age 18. Marie is shown as having emigrated in 1886. Marie’s occupation is shown as a dress-maker working out of her home.

      Mary’s address (“Mrs. M. Fogelquist”) in 1953 was 2921 Frances Avenue, Los Angeles 5, California. Apparently she was working for Bullock’s at the time.

      In the 1920 census, she is shown as having come to this country in 1886 from Norway and having been naturalized as a citizen in 1891.

      In the 1940 census, she was Marie Fogelquist, a 55 year-old widow living in Los Angeles. She was a fitter for alterations in a retail department store.
