Tante married John, but he became ill and wanted to return to Norway to die. He did, but he had some veterans benefits which supported Tante. After that, Tante moved to Chicago and ran a grocery store by herfself. Then in '36 to '37 she moved to Northfield and kept house for the household boys at 419 St. Olaf Avenue. In the house were Gerhard, Henry and Art, along with their father Hans who owned the house. He was on sabbatical at that time, and had petitioned to do his study in Northfield. Then she moved back to Chicago and resumed grocery operation. Then met Andrew Saetre at church - he worked for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. Art got a job with the railroad for the summer. Tante (Gertrude) was half-sister to Arts mother, Danielle.
