31.  LEONARD MELVIN SR5 LINDMAN (MINNIE AMELIA4 WALLIN, HAROLD 'HANS'3, ERICK ERICKSON2, ERICK1 ERICKSON) was born 11 Sep 1921 in Jacobson, Aitkin County, Minnesota, and died 03 Dec 1997 in Cambridge,  Isanti County, Minnesota3.  He married CRYSTAL ANNA THOMPSON 26 Dec 1941 in Grand Rapids, Itasca County, Minnesota, daughter of RICHARD THOMPSON and ORLIE WARD.  She was born 14 Dec 1921 in Jacobson, Aitkin County, Minnesota, and died 06 Aug 1993 in Rush City, Chisago County, Minnesota.

 

Notes for LEONARD MELVIN SR LINDMAN:

Leonard worked in logging camps in Northern Minnesota.  He worked as an over the road truck driver.  He was an employee of the Butler Mines/ Hanna Mining Company in Hibbing, Minnesota on the Iron Range in Minnesota.  In 1950, Leonard broke his back when the Euclid he was driving went down 80 feet in an iron ore mine pit.  He spent nearly six months in the hospital in Duluth following this accident.  Crystal moved the family from Pengilly to Proctor to stay with Leonard's parents to be near him.  The family lived in town near the railroad tracks....the snow was always black with coal dust.  Crystal hated hanging clothes on the line because of the dust.  At this time, Karen was in the 2nd grade and Carmen was in the 1st grade.  The family moved back to the farm in Jacobson when Leonard got out of the hospital.  Tragedy soon struck again, on April 9, 1952, their home caught on fire from a spark from the wood stove when it went up the chimney. Built up creosote in the chimney is what fueled the fire. Two of Leonard and Crystal's 8 daughters did not get out and burned to death.  Leonard had burns to the bone in his hands and feet from trying to get to them.  When he knew he could not, he crawled into the pig pen in the garage, hugged the sow and cried.  Both Leonard and Crystal were in Grand Rapids hospital for 2 weeks.  While Leonard was still recovering from the burns, he was knocked down by a cow he was unloading from a truck.  He was knocked unconscious, was treated and released from Grand Rapids hospital with cuts and lacerations to the head and face.  After the fire, Leonard could not imagine ever wanting to live back on the home place and sold it.  After the grieving passed, he tried to buy it back but the new owners refused.  He was heart broken.

In 1966, Leonard was employed by the State of Minnesota working as a Laundry Truck driver for the Cambridge State Hospital: He made 2 runs per day: one to Moose Lake and the other to Anoka.  He drove school bus for the Pine City School District.  About one year after getting the job in Cambridge, the family moved to Rush City, Minnesota where they purchased a home there.

The family would pick all kinds of berries for sauce and jelly/jam.  They would leave their home early in the morning and stay in the blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry patches until they had all their containers full.  It would be an ALL day adventure.  When they all got home, everyone sat around the kitchen table and cleaned until the berries were ready to can.  Not one of the children ever asked what they were going to get paid nor did they ever refuse to help.  It was all a part of being 'family'.  A large garden was planted every year....and with this, the girls were expected to clean/weed one row a day to keep the weeds in check.  The ladies would get together at Grandma Thompsons a couple days in the summer to help her make her fabulous garlic dill pickles.  Not one complaint was heard when this was done either.  They knew that there would be "no time for play" if there was a complaint or refusal.  'Being bored" was not something the family knew about....there was always something to do.  

Leonard wired the farm house for a pump so we did not have to haul water from the barn....this was done the fall before the fire.  Bathroom duties were not in the house....they were in an outhouse, out behind the garage.   We looked forward to the time when Mom would buy peaches, pears and apricots by the lug.  Not only were they good in the winter but Mom saved the paper they were packed in for "toilet paper".  The papers were rationed out to all of us.  When they were gone, it was back to the Sears, Roebuck catalog.  We did not get a television set until 1956.

When coffee mugs came out, Dad was very disappointed....he liked his coffee from a cup and saucer.  He poured the hot coffee into the saucer and drank from that.

Holidays were always filled with family activities:  Christmas was without question to be spent at

Crystal's family farm with lots of food and sledding.  Family's got together at Easter for Easter Egg hunts, Thanksgiving was a day of blessings with family, the 4th of July was spent at a lake with family, at festivals, family visits and fireworks.

This is a brief summary of Leonard and his family.  It would take too much space for this part of the history book to go into more detail here.

 

Written by Karen Crystal Lindman, daughter of Leonard's.

Notes for LUELLA ARETTA LINDMAN:

 

        A memoir from Karen Lindman Klennert, Luella's niece and Lawrence's great-niece:

 

        During my school years, I looked forward to summers because I knew I could go stay for a                        while at their home.  Aunt Luella never thought it an imposition for me to stay there.  Any way

        she never acted like I would be in her way.  Aunt Luella was my father's sister and she                                married my mother's Uncle Lawrence (grandma Thompson's brother).

        I remember them living in an old school house, near a sink hole.  Since it was a one-room                            schoolhouse, they had to divide rooms using dressers and any other furniture they had.

        There was not a lot of privacy for any of them and I don't know that it affected any of them.

        A pump for water was just out the door and all the water had to be carried.

        One of our favorite things to do was climb trees...not the safest thing but did we think of                            safety at the time?...no...because our goal was to see who could climb the highest.  I ripped      a few pair of pants doing that and I was most always told Mom would be upset.  But I think                     Mom sort of expected me to do that any way.

 

        Dad 'always' warned us of the sink hole....to stay away from it and we were afraid enough                           of it that we were not tempted to go there.  I have wondered over the years though, why he                         would risk driving over the road that ran  through it?  I know he always stopped before                        starting to cross and look it over, and if he thought it was okay, he would go.  And when we                     reached the other side, he would sigh.  I do not recall him ever turning back thinking it                                                was unsafe to cross.  There were neighbors/friends on the other side that Dad liked to

        stop to visit for a few minutes while we were in the neighborhood.

 

        I remember the family moving to the Buchholz place.  It was kind of thrilling for them since it                      had a farm house on it with an upstairs so the kids had a 'bedroom'.  It had a basement/cellar

        where Aunt Luella could store her canning.  One of my favorite times of the year to visit was     fall time when Aunt Luella was taking produce out of the garden.  Her beet pickles were an                    envy to many including me.  I loved the smell of them as well as the taste of them.  I still say,   "Noboby can make beet pickles like Aunt Luella."  I have her recipe and make them when I                                have beets but they aren't the same.  Nonetheless, I think of Aunt Luella every time I eat beet

        pickles.

 

        Staying at Aunt Luella's was a memorable, comfortable place to visit and I am glad I had the

        opportunity to be one to spend time with her.

 A memoir from Karen:  Living in Jacobson as a child was an experience!  The Swedes lived on the East side of the Mississippi River and the Finnish people lived on the west side of the river.  Shopping at the Co-op store showed the separation of the two cultures as well.  The Finns would rush to a corner of the store and huddle there when the Swedes came in to shop.  In the year 2000, I met one of the Finns at an auction sale  that had lived there at that time.  He came to talk to me because he thought he recognized me.  Then we talked about the "good old days".  He said, "You know you had to live there at the time to know that this actually did happen.  This is great."  I don't recall my family as being a 'hugging' 'I love you' type of family.  But we all knew we were loved and cared for and didn't question it.  Christmas and the 4th of July were 2 holidays that were sure to be shared with extended family.  We got to see the Indian PowWows and visit with more relatives.  Seldom did we miss the Fireworks in town!  Visiting was important when I was a child--now everyone is so busy that time runs out for many of us before we visit.  Then we grab a few minutes at a funeral.  The creek that ran through the Lindman farm pasture was a wonderful place to play, mostly to wade in or balance ourselves walking across a fallen tree.  It was all simple and so uncomplicated.  It took no technology to be creative and have fun!  There was plenty of socialization.

 

Ray and Karen met and dated while going to High School in Hill City.  He stopped to see her in March, 1992 in Floodwood.  Both of their marriages were in trouble and divorce was certain for both.  They married in August, 1993 and now live in Swatara, Aitkin County, Minnesota (2005).  Ray worked at Blandin Paper Company until his retirement in 2002.  They share their home with 3 furry friends;  Dude, Dayna, and Taz.  They love their children/grandchildren, family and friends, and love their visits, holidays, nature, and family reunions.

Notes for RICHARD FRED LINDMAN:

 

 

        Anyone who knew Richard knew him as a "Simple Man".  He was satisfied with little and would make do with little.  He lived simple and expected no more than what he had.  He wasn't much interested in material things, just love, happiness, Harley Davidson friends, his family and his art.  He would buy the cheapest and simplest of artist tools and make extravagant pieces of art.  He could have made a fortune with his art and music talents.  On one occasion, he did a painting for someone.  When he was finished, he told the fellow what he wanted for it.  (And Rick was always on the cheap side for any of his art work).  The guy told him it was too much and didn't take it.  Rick got so angry, he took it home and burned it.  He talked about this a lot and was reluctant ever after to make any art work to sell.  Another time,  he sold his art to someone and he in turn sold it at a much higher price.  When Rick found out, he said, "Nobody is going to make money on my talents".  Instead of raising his price, he quit making art to sell.  After these unhappy events regarding his art, he started tattooing.  And he tattooed on his own body as well as others.  His happiest of times were spent with his 2 boys, Casey and Dylan.  Casey and Rick did a lot of 'jamming' together.  They both had a great love for music.  He loved both of the boys dearly.  Rick loved nature and loved to be around non-judgmental people.  All he ever asked of for himself from others was to be allowed to be himself.  He was told by a Judge that he needed to go for treatment for his alcohol problem.  He told the Judge it was a waste of time and money.  He told him he loved beer and planned to have a beer as soon as he got out of jail.  He served his time in jail and continued to have his beer when he got out.  In a discussion with his sister, Karen, he told her he wanted to go visit her but she would have to have beer for him.  That if she didn't, she was violating his civil rights.  She told him she would have his beer for him and he was free to drink it as long as he did not drive.  That if he got behind the wheel of a vehicle, he was violating her and everyone elses civil rights.  He agreed with her.  For several months up to his death, she would drive from her home in Swatara to pick him up south of Mora, where he lived, to bring him home with her for the weekend.  She would take him back home when the weekend was over.

 

Interests:  Richard was a Naturalist (preferred to be nude whenever possible).

        He loved music and played guitar and harmonica.  He was a good entertainer around family       campfires.  The young children would gather around to have him teach them harmonica or to                listen to him play and sing.  He always dreamed of recording his own songs.  He had the             opportunity to play with the band 'Steppenwolf' and was very proud of that.  He also had the            opportunity to be on "The Gong Show" and won.

        He could speak five languages 'enough to get by'.

        He was on the wrestling team in high school.

 

Medical:  Richard was in a car accident in 1976, a head injury resulted.  Six years later, 1981, he had to              have a tumor removed from his brain as a result of that accident.  He was experiencing                double vision and severe headaches.  The doctors were unable to remove all the tumor.  He       was told that if he continued to drink alcohol, the tumor would return.  Richard was an        alcoholic and was dependent on it.

 

        Richard lived as a homeless person for several months at a time.  The family was constantly

        concerned about where he was and how he was.  He referred to himself as 'The Dumpster                          King'.  Sooner or later his sister, Karen, or brother, Gene, would get a call from him.  One

        time of the year he would call would be Christmas if he was gone.

 

        Money meant little to Richard--he only needed enough to live day to day.

 

        Richard was killed in a car accident on Thanksgiving Day in 2000.  He was a passenger in the vehicle that was hit.  The driver of the truck said his brakes failed and he was unable to stop at a Stop Sign.  An oncoming car hit the truck and spun around hitting the side of the car Rick was on.  The impact knocked the cab of the truck off its frame.  A Memorial was held in the Swanson Funeral Chapel in Pine City on Monday, November 27, 2000, and his funeral held on Tuesday, November 28, 2000 at the Swanson Funeral Chapel.  He was cremated and interment was in Rush City.  He was buried next to his daughter, Melissa.  He was planning on getting married to Kim Johnson in the future at the time of his death.  Kim and Rick's explanation of their upcoming marriage was--"Not only do we love each other, but we are too crazy for anyone else so we might as well stay together."  They both felt they were the "unique couple."
