KELDGORD JOURNAL

Martha Keldgord, daughter of Jacob and Martine Keldgord, was born April 4, 1895 in Center Twp.. Shelby County. Martha's parents were Danish immigrants who had 3 other children besides Martha: Mabel, Olga and Oscar. After Martha's father Jacob and sister Olga died, Mabel married Walter Larsen and moved away. Martha remained on the home farm until 1960, after her mother and brother Oscar had both also died.

Martha's sister Mabel died in 1958, and in 1960 Mabel's husband, Walter, married Martha.

Martha kept a journal from 1911-1930. She was fairly active at Cuppy's Grove Baptist Church, and her journal mentions many people from the area. The name index below was compiled by a family member, who is willing to do lookups. When reviewing the index, please keep in mind that spellings of names in the journal often varied, and some are known to be incorrect. No attempt has been made to correct Martha's spelling, it has been transcribed as written, but sometimes alternate spelling have been included with the original. Note: Unknown surname entries are listed last.
