Notes:
Chris could not walk and the neighbors chipped to buy him some braces. This
was told us by Maria Hagedorn Monner, his wife, as she heard the story.
He later recovered from the lameness, but was always slightly
bowlegged. We do not know the disease or exact age.
Died of complications of TB. The young couple did not have the funds to
get him to a warmer climate. Grave marker at Lake Benton Cemetary,
(Minn. trip in 1969) said:
Chris E. Sommerlade, Born May 3, 1875 Died May 15, 1903
Sleep sweetly dear Chris
Beneath the green sod;
Sleep silently husband
Thy spirit's with God.
Chris's death left Mary (Maria) with a three-year-old son George William to raise. It was not easy for a woman in those days. She was a wonderful cook and worked for her aunt at the Rein Hotel in a neighboring town. Later she ran a boarding house in St. Paul and did sewing--making a fancy, hand-stitched long dress of the day for $3. It took her about a week of sewing. George grew up being very fruegal, understandably and told of making his piece of candy last nearly all day.
Chris and a friend ran a saloon in Ballaton, Lake Benton, Minnesota and I think he was doing this when he took ill.
Baptism, endowment were done at Alberta Canada temple (temple index card 86131 book 25 page 3554), sealing to parents at SLAKE.

Notes:
George was sealed to his parents by Joyce and Joe Goodman and Joey and Laura Goodman in the Salt Lake Temple 29 May 1998. If this work was done before, we did not have the record at this time and will change the date as it is discovered.
He was undoubtedly baptized in Portland, but came to Salt Lake for his endowments 31 may 1935 according to temple records 8350 book G page 351. I remember going to the temple, being dressed in a little white dress and stocking feet, for the sealing. I was three and a half years old and remember packing all my things in a little round suitcase that sprung open when it was unlatched with everything popping out. Colette was born 8 August 1934 so she was alive but she did not come on the trip, I suppose it was considered too hard to bring her. My parents always thought things would be taken care of for her since she was so handicapped. She did get baptized in Portland and later have a patriarchal blessing. We considered taking her to the temple at one time, but with the difficulty of dressing her and doing ordinances we felt it was best not to have her come. She understood.
