John, thanks for your comment. I can only go with the information provided by the articles and other sources. Who where the Ostlunds and when were they in Pine River, MN.

That is the old Ostlund home, which was the first home moved to that site. It was actually put on the foundation backwards, and the front door was located on the other side in the middle. You can actually see where the door was when looking closely at that back wall. I doubt that it orginally looked anything like that inside. Nor did it look like that on the outside. That home was never lived in as a log cabin – it had vertical wood siding originally, and a smoker attached to the side.

Betty: Thanks for stopping by. It is pretty exciting to celebrate this blog. The letters were pretty awesome because I don’t have much personal items for my great grandfather. It is nice to see his thoughts.

Also Raymond’s wife Minnie her maiden last name is Lytle. We did not know much about the Spracklin Family until I stumbled across this website. Which it made my mother happy to have at least some knowledge of her family. As I was mistakened on one of the daughter’s middle name, it is Donna Marie not Donna Rae.
