In the 1930 census, George W. Graham, 28, was living in an apartment at 209 Washington Boulevard in Oak Park, Illinois with his sister Grenith, 25, a school teacher, Fred W. Little, 28, his cousin, and George Browning, 30, a boarder. They are renting the apartment, at a rent of $90/month, and their household has a radio. All four are single. George W., Grenith, and Fred were all born in Minnesota although their fathers were born in English Canada. George W.’s and Grenith’s mother was born in Minnesota; Fred’s mother was also born in English Canada. George Browning was born in Utah, as was his father. His mother was born in England. George W. is a mechanical engineer in the “automatic stoker” industry, Grenith is a school teacher in the public schools, Fred is a civil engineer in the paint and lead industry. George Browning is a chemical engineer in the lead industry. All four are employed. None of them are veterans.

In the 1940 census, he was G.W. Graham (indexed as “Greham”), 38, living with his family in Park Ridge at 1033 Hamlin. This was not the same house that the family had lived in in 1935. He was the proprietor of a stoker company. He owned his house and it was worth $18000. George and Lillian both had four years of college. Living with the family was a servant, 26 year-old Milda Mueller from Wisconsin. She worked 60 hours per week and had earned $416 in 1939.

May have worked as the engineer for the Garland Building in Chicago in the late 1920s.

Eddy Stoker Corp. was incorporated in 1931. In 1941, he purchased the stoker business of the Whiting Corporation.

In 1944, Eddy Stoker Corporation, 4711-21 W. North Avenue, Chicago 39.

George commissioned John S. Van Bergen, once an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, to design his house in Park Ridge. Besides the Graham home, Van Bergen designed several others in the Chicago area. Van Bergen was also the architect behind a home that Sears sold from its “Book of Modern Homes and Building Plans” catalog. That home was called #3000, “The Aurora.” Only one Aurora was ever built: 6416 Grand Vista Avenue in Cincinnati.

Middle name from Ervan’s obit.

Odin was a veteran of the World War.

The history of the Kickapoo United Lutheran Church in Soldiers Grove records the death of an Odin Olson in 1977.

Registered for the draft on June 5, 1917. Shown as single, living in Soldiers Grove. Claimed to have been born in Clayton, Wisconsin. His occupation is carpenter for “Coney Turbine” of Soldiers Grove. (That’s probably Cornelius Turbin, a nephew of Odin’s father in the 1900 census.) Odin is described as short, slender, blue eyes, light brown hair.

Listed in the 1920 census as age 24, living in Soldiers Grove in Crawford County. He is shown as single, occupation carpenter, age 24, “stepson” living with Martin and Christiana Helgerson.

In the 1910 census, Odin is 15 and living with Martin and Christina Helgerson in Soldiers Grove. Martin and Christina had been married for two years and she had had one child, still living (who apparently was Odin). It is his second marriage but her first so she probably was not married to Odin’s father.

In the 1900 census, he is Odin B Olson, living with his mother Christina in Clayton Twp. He is the only child Christina has had.

In the 1940 census, Odin and his family lived on a rented farm in Franklin Twp on the Viroqua to Black Bottom Road, a few farms away from the Carl Nundahls. Neither Mildred nor Benetta were living at home.

In the 1950 census, he was a farmer in Soldiers Grove in Crawford County. Ervin, Robert, and Clifford were still at home.

In that census, Christina Olson, and her son Odin B. are living on a farm in Crawford County. Christina is 40 (born Feb 1860 in Norway) and is single and has had one child which is still living. Her son Odin B. is 5 and was born Feb 1895 in Wisconsin. Odin’s father was born in Wisconsin. The farm next door is that of Ingeborg Olson, 69.

According to the SSDI:

Residence: Marshall in Dane County
Last Benefit: Readstown in Vernon County

His obit noted that he was preceded in death by one son, one grandson, and one great-grandson. Odin’s obit had him and Clara marrying on February 5, 1918. But that is clearly incorrect because Odin and Clara are living at home and both single at the time of the 1920 census in January of 1920.

In a note that Dorothy McKittrick included in her 1977 Christmas card to Cora, she said, “Odin Olson died - his funeral is Monday. I talked to Benetta last night and she said he was only sick for a day and a half.”
