   He worked as a salesman in a lumber yard
   Victoria's father is living with them to provide us with her last name. His name was Nels G. Nordqvist 56 yrs old and year of immigration is 1892 with Naturalization in 1898.
   Gustav Eric is listed as Emanuel. This is the name Florence Pittelkow knew him by.
   immigration listed as 1869 na 1876.
   Anna immigration listed as [1882] na 1898.
   Clara is listed as a widow and it looks like she may be a school teacher.
   Pearl is listed with what looks like [15] in the education column 16-(attended school anytime since Sept. 1 1919) and since most other entries say yes or no I am lead to believe that she was saying that she was 15 when she attended school last.

   Occupation for Clara looks like teacher. Could not read occupation for Victor.

   Pearl is listed with husband Victor and daughter June. Pearl is only 17 years old and has a 9 month old baby.
