In 1868 she came to Red River, Minn. where her brothers Mons and Erick Erickson were located. Several years later she came to Iowa where she served as a domestic in the home of John Christian. Later she left for Roland, where she served in the capacity of nurse to Mrs. S. Sheldahl. After Mrs. Sheldahl's death she remained there as housekeeper until May 26, 1884, when she was married to Sjur Rame. Three children were born to them, all of whom have preceded her in death. Belle Rame of Des Moines is the only survivor of the family. Mrs. Rame was a good woman, true to the principles of Christian descipleship.
