Lots of visiting and fun this week.
Not sure who Signe is.
Uncle Walter is probably John Walter Long, Lill’s mother Amanda’s brother. Wonder what the $11.70 was for?
Happy Birthday, Uncle Mart!
Someone please remind me who Mr HaHa is! I remember Mama Tut talking about him, but I can’t remember who he is exactly.

Another busy week for Lil and Family. Mr. HAHA was Mildred Gustafson Carlson’s father also, husband of Amy who Lil walked up to see or they talked on phone. I think that I never knew his real name. I was told that he was called Mr. Haha because of the way he laughed. Carl and Rosealy (don’t know last name). They lived directly across the side street from Mabel. Their house was a converted church building and it is still there. I realized that there were no children Bonnie’s age in their group of friends and relatives. M 03-09-24 Kay

Thank you! I remember Mama Tut talking about him and his laugh but couldn’t remember any details.
Carl is one of Mabel’s brothers, right? I think at this time Mabel and Ray were living with his mother Caroline in the house on Main Street.

Toya, Mr Haha was Mildred’s father. Miss Annie and Mr Haha (right now can’t remember their last name) had the farm on the way to the Sandberg farm. Mother said something like she fell one time and he laughed. Not nice. So they started calling him Mr HaHa. But I’m surprised that Lill used that name too. Need Kay and Bev to chime in.
