From Smelden Side

Here is tid bit of news I grew up with. My grandfather Hans (Larimor, ND was the actual town), was a sloppy writer and his "I" in Smilden was sloppy and never dotted and was mistaken for an "E" giving us Smelden. I was there in 1971. And there really is a little red school house that my dad and Harold Sr. attended along w/Norm. I have a lot of nice childhood stories about Harold and his kids. There were mine and my sisters closest cousin. I'm Georgie.
