Narrative

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #1309, Date of Import: Nov 5, 1998]

William died in 1934, causing great strain on Lafranchine. In 1937, Eva Dell passed away. Lafranchine sold the farm in Pleasant Valley, Iowa, left her children behind and moved to Superior, Wisconsin. She appeared in the 1938 Superior City Directory as a waiter for Mrs. Belle Ballestere, And resided at the rear of 314 1/2 Tower Avenue. There was no listing in the 1939 City Directory, it is believed she moved to Duluth then. She sent for some of her children while in Superior, Marjorie vaguely remembers Superior, but recalls with great detail, Duluth.
When William and Lafranchine were married in 1911, they lived in a tent for a while.
