Schulstad Sisters

Frequently my blog about family history is motivated by photographs.  I have such a large collection of family photos and I would like to share them and I want to preserve them. Posting these photos on this blog will allow me to share them and ensure that while they are in my hands they won’t be destroyed.  I think that after I scan them I will donate them to an historical library or genealogical society.  Unless someone comes up with a better idea this is what I will go with.  I am open to suggestions.

The motivating picture today is this one of Marguerite Schulstad and her sisters.   On the back is written “Summer 1913”.  This is the same year that Marguerite was married.

From left to right are:

Marguerite Louise born 18 May 1892 Chicago, Illinois; died – 16 October 1969 Los Angeles, CA; She married (1)Frank Phillips, (2) John J Langbauer, and had one son, Ernest. 

Ellen Lucia born 2 May 1884 Austin, Minnesota; died May 1956 in California.  Ellen married Leon Winslow.  Leon was born in Nebraska.  I don’t know of any children.

Hilde Marie born 12 April 1882 Bergen, Norway; died 8 March 1977;  Hilde married Dan Ritenour.  There were no children that I know of.  I don’t know much about this couple at all.

Betty Henriette born 15 February 1880 Bergen, Norway; died July 13, 1973 in California; Betty married George Wyers who immigrated from Canada.  He died between 1920 and 1930.  She moved to southern California and lived with her daughters and sisters.  She died at age of 90. Two daughters: Isabelle and Roberta.

Lisbeth Larsine born 25 September 1870 Bergen, Norway; died 1950; Lisbeth was the oldest child.  She married her cousin Ole Broten.  Ole was the son of her aunt Rikke who was the sister of Lars Schulstad, her father.  They had two daughters: Ellen and Olga.

Looking for descendants of these ladies.  Let me know if I got any of this wrong.  This is a work in progress.
