From "Our Roots & Branches - The family of Ernest Christian Herman Flatau & Mabel Reggear" Written by Ray Flatau - When Mother got sick and had to go to the state hospital we had hard times with very little food and no adults to take care of us. I went to live with Uncle Albert and Aunt Elsie when I was in the fourth grade. When I was about 11 years old I went to work and live with my brother, Harry, who had a farm near Perham, Minn.
