Tombstone Tuesday: LOVGREN, Reinhart

Reinhart Lovgren's full grave site.¹

Lovgren
In Memory Of 
Reinhart            Martha 
1911 - 1978        1914 -         

From Our Harvest of Memories (1983)²:

Reinhart Lovgren was born on 17 September 1911 in Kongsberg, Norway. He came to the Foxdale district in 1930, was employed to clear land, and "having been raised in the city he had to learn everything the hard way."

Reinhart met Martha Anna (--?--) at the local dances and picnics and were married on 16 October 1937; together they had two daughters.

For the first four years Reinhart and Martha lived in Sturgeon Valley district before moving back to Foxdale district to take over Martha uncle Emil Schmidt's farm. In 1948 they took over "Dad's" farm as well. When Reinhart's health failed they sold out in 1974 and moved to the town of Shelbrook.

The entry has some other interesting life stuff, but as it is written by Martha and more about her life and the children and grandchildren I will leave the rest in the book.
