ERDAHL, GLEASON, HAMMER posted by Monica Drake on Thursday, June 12, 1997

Looking for info. on anyone with surname HAMMER from the Rice County area. My Greatgrandmother Clara Martha HAMMER was born in Webster, MN as was as least one of her sisters (Louise Josephine HAMMER). Clara was born in 1889, Louise in 1881. They had at least one other sister Mary (birth date and place unknown). Parents names were Andrew and Sophia. About 1890 the family moved to Minot, ND. I am hoping Andrew had other family that remained in MN. Would love to hear from any HAMMER descendents from MN. Clara married my greatgrandfather Nels ERDAHL and moved to Canada about 1910. Mary's married name was Lotsberg. Louise Josephine married a ? Eidahl and after his death married Patrick GLEASON. All children were from the second marriage. Would also be interested in locating family of a William Giles from Minn. (Could be Becker, Minn.) he was Clara's first husband, for only a year until her father had the marriage annulled. Their was a child (Harvey Andrew) from this brief union.
