MONS GJERDE

This is my great-uncle, Mons Gjerde. He was my
Grandma, Elsie Dahlager's brother.  
Grandma & Mons both immigrated from Norway.
Mons was married to Christine Dahlager
Grandma was married to Christine's brother, John Dahlager.

Mons was a Lutheran pastor, serving in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Washington and South Dakota.

My grandpa John died unexpectedly in October, 1936
Three days after John's death, Mons died very suddenly.
How strange that these men, who had married each other's sibling
had died so close together.
