I would speculate that, for the Froyum family, the following years must have been a financial struggle, considering that Alfred’s death happened long before farmers became part of the social security system. Alfred, a veteran of the Great War, died from a farm accident when Dorothy was just eight. Their mother was Raghnild (Ragna), my dad’s sister, and their father, Alfred Froyum, was my maternal grandmother’s brother. I call her my double cousin because she and her two siblings, Arnold and Esther were cousins on both sides. She died peacefully in her sleep, following a month of suffering from a case of shingles that got really complicated.ĭorothy was born at home on the farm in Roscoe Township in Goodhue County, Minnesota. It is with sadness that I share the news of the death of my double cousin, Dorothy Froyum Everson.
