THE FAMILY OF EDWARD AND INGEGOR ENGLEBRETSON

This is my grandmother's family (she's the one in front in white (Minnie Bragstad [Olaf] between her parents]. Her father and mother are in front on either side of her are -- Ingebor and Edward Englebretson. Seated next to my great-grandfather is their youngest son, James. In the back are Elizabeth (Krogness, Olaf), Emil, and Annie (Johnstone, Martin). Annie is the one I can't find any trace of...no obit, etc. I found Martin's obit but not Annie's. All I know about her is that she and an infant son died around 1914 and according to my grandmother she had "fire engine red hair." I don't know where she is buried. Annie and Martin had two other sons Albert and Archie. Archie is now in the Clark County Health Care Center along with one of Elizabeth's sons, Conrad Krogness. Archie told me his mother died in childbirth but he has no photos. Archie was always poor ... and had a hard life.
