There was a name, Hemmingson, and Beresford, South Dakota. I also remembered a story of a Mrs. Hemmingson staying with my Grandma Synneva Haakinson when her husband, Abel, passed away. Could she be the mother of the two girls? She must have been related to us if she had had to travel over 200 miles to be with Synneva. That was not an easy journey.
