Short Biography
Julia attended the new brick school across the road from her house. The old wooden one had burned down when she was five years old. The brick structure was known as the Lowell schoolhouse or Dovre Township School #2. This school went from first through the eigth grade. All of the children were in one big room. Later, when her daughter Janet attended the school, the schools consolidated and it was sold. My cousin Gale (Holten) and her husband Carl bought the school building and have converted it into a very nice home.
Julia met Carl when she was very young. Many school board meetings were held at her parents house and Carl and his brother George came to these meetings. They also used to see each other at church. As she grew older she started to work for the Pinnerud's during threshing time. Mina Pinnerud, Carl's sister, was a good cook but a poor house keeper. After Mrs. Pinnerud died in 1933, Julia became a live-in house keeper. Not only did she keep house but she also picked potatoes and drove the horses on a hay fork. It was very hard work for poor pay. After a couple of years they were married.
After Carl died, Julia stayed on the farm for a number of years but by Palm Sunday of 1991 she had to move to Chetek. She had been sick for about a week and couldn't get up. She lived in an apartment complex on Stout Street that is reserved for the elderly. Her cousin, Adeline Newman Reinolt, lives next door to her. The farm is still in the family but it is now rented out. Jim, Janet's son, lived on the farm for about a year and a half. Since March or April of 1993 it has been rented to another person.
In late 1997, she became so ill she had to be hospitalized and then she returned to her apartment for about a week. She then decided to go to the Dallas Healthcare Center in Dallas, Wisconsin. She had been living there since before Christmas of 1997 until her death.
"Thoughts From A Country Gal" by Janet Pinnerud Novak.
Many of my early memories of their farm are of dogs, cats, horses and outhouses. In the late 1950's they were still using horse power to do some of the work on the farm. Janet, Julia's daughter, said that even more was done by horse power when she was little. They had two horses that pulled wagons of hay and hay cutters and hay forks. During threshing time the neighbors used to get together and help each other get in the wheat harvest. Big crews used to go from farm to farm and get it harvested. No modern combines were used but only the older labor intensive equipment and horses. The wheat was cut, then racked up and put on horse drawn wagons and brought to a huge threshting machine that separated the wheat grains from the straw. Then another wagon brought the wheat to where it was stored. Many people where involved in a project that would one take one or two people now days. It was the job on the women on the farm to provide meals for the crews. There seemed to be competition from the different farms as to who could make the best meals and deserts.
There were always many cats around. They generally kept the mouse population in check. They were always fun to play with. The dog I remember best was a collie named Shep. He was always fun. We didn't have dogs or cats at this time so it was always a real treat to go up north to them.
They didn't have running water in the house until rather late in their lives. There was a pump house across the drive from the house and someone had to go out and pump the water by hand for all of the household needs. Much water was used for washing dishes, cloths and baths. There were a number of buckets of water set on a shelf by the sink for drinking and cooking. Later the pump was electrified which made it much easier to get the water. I don't think it was until the late 1960's that plumbing was brought into the house. This meant you had to go outside to the outhouse. It wasn't too bad during the warmer weather but it could get very cold in the winter and during hot weather it could get rather unbearable too. Chamber pots were sometimes utilized during the night. The real problem for me was that there always seemed to be a bees nest on the eaves of the outhouse. I was always dodging a bee or so on the way into the outhouse. It had two places for people to sit. I have heard that some out houses had spots for three and four people. This meant that you might not be alone at times. This could be embarrassing.
Julia helped her mother Clara when she got sick and after she died kept house for my uncle Art. She did this until Art got married.
Julia and Blanche Anderson were always afraid to walk past the woods behind the old school house. The woods were reputed to be haunted. There was an old Indian burial ground there and also many of the early settlers were buried there before the new cemetery was started. Some of the graves were removed to the new cemetery but it is said by many of the "old timers" that there are still many graves there. The people that could afford to have their relatives moved to the new cemetery did so. The people who didn't have any living relatives or their relatives didn't have the money to move them were left there. Julia had a number of reasons to be afraid of this area even though it was just across the road from her home. When she was five years old the old wooden school had burned down and she had watched it. She still remembers that incident. She always hurried passed those woods. She said that she heard strange noises coming from them. The new road doesn't go as close to the woods as the old road did. The old road ran through part of the woods and had a small wooden bridge there. Many people had reported strange incidents here. Blanche Anderson, Julia's girl friend, reported that at one time a woman dressed in white on the bridge. The woman was by the railing and was crying. Blanche tried to talk to her but the woman never answered her. Blanche thought she saw a ghost and ran. My uncle Harry had also told me this story. One time some girls passed the woods and heard some very odd noises. They became scared and ran away. Later it was found out that a foal had just been born on a nearby farm and had made the noise.

Osilius-Abrahamson Rites at St. Paul 's
Nuptial ceremonies uniting Miss Eva Osilius and Raleigh Abrahamson, both of Kenosha, were performed by the Rev. J.H. Johnson on Saturday morning at St. Paul 's Lutheran church.
After the wedding dinner and reception at the bride's home, the young couple left on a wedding trip to visit the bridegroom's mother, Mrs. Clara Abrahamson at Auburn , Wis. Mr. And Mrs. Abrahamson will live in Kenosha .
He attended Dovre Township School #2. This was a red brick one room school house. This school building still stands and has been converted into a house by his niece Gale (Holten) and her husband Carl Mielcarek. He did not have far to go as the new school was situated across the road from his home. This school was also known as the Lowell school. The woods behind the school house were considered haunted by many people in the area.
He and his brothers had a pony named Daisy. They all rode the pony the neighborhood. Their father made a cart for it and they even rode it into New Auburn to by groceries. Later during the 1920's he bought a small Harley-Davidson motor cycle. This proved to be an adventure. The roads in the township had a lot of sand in spots. When he hit a patch of sand the bike sometimes would stop suddenly and he would fly over the handlebars.
In 1930 he and two friends, Clarence Anderson and Malcomb Pinnerud decided to try their luck out in North Dakota. They worked on a farm in the Mayville area. He worked there from April to October of 1930 but the other two went back to Dovre earlier. In 1937 he decided to raise goats. He had a small herd of two to four animals but had to give them up in 1942 when he was drafted.
He was drafted into an engineers unite as a carpenter. He had some experience in this field from living on the farm. He was assigned to Company "C" of the 237th Engineers Battalion. This unit was stationed at Camp Carson in Colorado. He experienced sever ear problems and had an operation and was given a medical discharge in 1943. His total time in the army was about 18 months. After he left his unit went to England and then fought in North Africa and Italy.
After his discharge he returned home and was hired by Nash Motors, from Kenosha, Wisconsin. They had an office in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He went down their and was hired on the spot. Other companies did this sort of thing because they needed people to meet their war production. Nash was building aircraft engines during the war and it was critical that they had enough
people for this work. He was making $.85 an hour and was living in a rooming house that cost him $10.00 a week. This place was located just west of Sheridan Road near downtown Kenosha. He soon moved to a big rooming house on the corner of 56th street and 25th avenue. He had a smaller room but it only cost him $3.00 a week. Here he was only across the street from the plant's main entrance. In 1946, a year before he got married he moved to a larger apartment at 5522 25th avenue just down the block from his room.
He met Valeria Osilius while working at Nash. She cleaned the lunch room tables and did other cleaning at Nash. She and her sister Eva rode together from the farm and parked in Cooper's parking lot. This was only about two blocks from where Raleigh lived. After work one day he was on his way to buy groceries when he passed the Cooper's parking lot. Val motioned him to come over because she wanted him to meet her sister. They both said hello to each other and went about their business. They first met in 1943 and were married in 1947.
He and Eva were married in St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Kenosha. They lived in the his second story apartment and they drove Eva's car. This location was convenient to both of their jobs as it was only a block away from his and about two from her's. They both worked hard and saved their money so they could buy a house. In 1949 they bought a house at 5533 25th avenue in which they still live today. The Ballards, the elderly couple that owned the house, wanted to retire, and then moved Colorado. The house was only vacant for a few weeks when they purchased it for $7,000. In 1996, he and Eva still live in that home and in June of 1997 they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
On August 19, 1997, he had a stroke but recovered sufficiently to go home. Two years later on September 26, he had another stroke. After a four day stay in the hospital he was transferred to Washington Manor, a nursing home. He died three days later on November 1, 1999.
In 1975 he retired from Nash, now called American Motors, with about 32 years of service. He had started there in the fall of 1943 in the heat treating department later he went to machining and just after the war ended to the press room where he made $1.24 an hour.
While in Kenosha his ear problems still plagued him. He had to spend two months at the Veteran's Hospital in Milwaukee. There they gave him a new drug that had recently come out called Penicillin. He got this twice a day. Later he had to go back for another two week stay.
He had a girl friend before he came down to Kenosha. Her name was Doris Pietz. He has many pictures of her. She was a legal secretary. When she retired she moved to Arizona. Wanted Raleigh and Eva to go down there when they retired,
Had a stroke on Tuesday, August 19, 1997. Was in Kenosha Memorial Hospital to Wednesday August 27, 1997 when he was transferred to St. Catherines Hospital, Kenosha, Wis. He received therapy and in a few weeks returned home. Tuesday,
September 26, 1999, he was taken to Kenosha Memorial Hospital after he had another stroke. He slowly weakened. On Friday September 29th he was transferred to Washington Manor Nursing home in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He died there at about 9:15 pm Monday, November 1, 1999.
