Notes: Note Written by Elizabeth Olson. "I met some interesting and very nice people in the short while I lived near Carlisle. My folks lived on the Haldorson farm for a little over 3 years. I was in school in Fergus Falls a good part of that time and also did housework. But I was also home on that farm with my folks during the summer and one winter. We had nice neighbors - north of us a 1/2 miles two bachelors the Faldalen Brothers were. They were cozy men to visit. The one brother baked the most delicious white bread. They were jolly and fun. Then around us were farmers like Saterns, Fosse's, Nelsons, Laugens - but a 1/4 mile or so south of us lived the Andrew Bakken's. They loved music and singing. Andrew sang with a quartette for years and they were popular and requested to sing in many churches. Morris, too, loved to sing. I first met "Morrie" after he came home from Gillette Hospital in Mpls. where he took treatment for after affects of Polio (I understood). While he was in the hospital he was so lonesome and asked the young folks of the Hedemarken Church to write to him. A few of us did. We often got together somewhere to practice, or sing for fun. The quartette (my dad was one of the quartette) also Philip Fjestad and Bernard Lein, plus Andrew and my Dad, Severin Olson. One afternoon "Ma" Bakken called and said come over right away. So I went - and everyone was so excited and singing because Bakken's had just got a new piano!! So we sang and played till late and many evenings after that - many happy hours. My cousin from Sisseton, South Dakota came to visit us. Morrie was so sociable he called and took us to a lovely Park - north and east of Pelican. He was always so generous and loved company - so did Andrew, Ma, and Arthur. We got together at the Haldorson farm and played games and sang too. In those days we didn't have private lines on our phones. So if your "ring" came (maybe one short and 2 long or so) you would answer and you would also hear a soft klick here and another, etc. If it was an interesting conversation - sometimes Ma Bakken would join in. It was fun sometimes. And at the end of the day - when the sun was sinking lower in the west - there came a welcome inviting, home-coming call from "Ma" to Andrew to "come in now for supper and the evening rest." It put a smile on many a face that heard that call - you couldn't help but hear it and smile - hear it for several miles! When my brothers came to visit me from Washington D. C. we went to visit Art - the only one left of the family. He(Art) was in pain but very cheerful and happy to see friends.
