She is pictured at the right with her husband Charles A. Mickelsen. I never knew her but I do remember the house. It was very small by today's standards. There was a big old fashioned stove in the kitchen. Originally it would have been a wood stove and would have been the source of heat for the house. Later coal heat was added. My father remembered with fondness her Danish dumplings in chicken soup. My mother never could get her dumplings quite like the mother-in-law's dumplings and Dad didn't know what the magic was.
