MEMORIES
Emile bought his grandfather's farm that was originally his father, Magloire's farm. Magloire, Sr. probably homesteaded it.

Neice Lillian (Fisette) Krenn moved in with the newly weds after their marriage because they had indoor plumbing.

Emile played the Violin-Fiddle in the early years of their marriage for dances in their home. Emil and Celia farmed for 47 years near Albertville before retiring to live in Elk River.

One of his great pieces of advice is to put fish waste in your raspberry patch.
