WILLIAMS, Edward Ove (I7093)

15546

No longer attending school at the time of the 1920 census.

At the time of their first son’s birth, he and Verona lived at 239 34th Avenue in north Minneapolis. He was a laborer.

In the 1930 census (April 16th), the family was living at 3704 42nd Ave. S. in a house that they rented for $32/month. The family consisted of Melvin A., 27, Verona M., 25, Donald O., 5, attending school, and Robert L., 1 and a few months. Melvin and Verona were married at age 21 and 18, respectively. Melvin was born in Wisconsin, both of his parents were born in Sweden. Verona was born in Minnesota, both of her parents in Germany. Melvin was a mechanic at a garage, Verona was a clerk at a bakery. Melvin was not a veteran. The 1930 Minneapolis city directory shows that Melvin was employed by the Minnehaha Automotive Co.

“Mr. Melvin Smith” signed Bess’s funeral guestbook. Mel and Verona were living at 9943 Wentworth at the time of Bess’s death.

His obituary showed his address as 9943 Wentworth. He had been a resident of Bloomington for 36 years. This suggests that he moved to Bloomington in 1936. At death, Mel had 6 grandchildren and was survived by one sister (which omits Mamie Norina). Funeral services were at St. Lukes Lutheran Church in Bloomington.

DHC says that Mel was a truck driver and car mechanic. In the famous Minneapolis strike in the mid-1930s, Mel went down to the battle and got hit over the head. He says that Mel also managed to steal two shovels from the rioters. Mel was an outboard motor repair mechanic at Carlson’s Sporting Goods in the early 1950s. DHC recalled that the tenure of Mel’s time at Carlson’s was about five years and that Mel was a car mechanic who didn’t know anything about outboard motors until he came to work at Carlson’s. I remember the test tank in the back corner of the store (in its northeast corner) where the motors were started up. DHC says that that tank had been installed originally for George Moll but George was a drinker and eventually got fired. (That may be the firing that Cora records in her diary on June 12, 1952.)

In the 1940 census, Mel and Verona lived in Bloomington on Nicollet Avenue near the Shakopee Road. They owned their house which was worth $2500. They had lived in Minneapolis in 1935. Mel and Verona had an 8th grade education. Mel was a mechanic for a gas light company.

In the 1950 census, he and Verona and their two sons lived at 9942 Wentworth in the incorporated place or township “Oxboro Valley Acres.” Mel was an auto mechanic at a private garage.

Mel ran for the office of justice of the peace in Bloomington in 1952. He was not elected.

Mel was a volunteer fireman for the Bloomington fire department. He may have been on duty for the ambulance call for his cousin Maurice on June 17, 1956.

No longer living on his parents’ farm in the 1910 census.

He registered for the draft in West Minneapolis on June 5, 1917. He was single and was a lawyer living in Hopkins. He claimed exemption from the draft due to the need to support his father. He had four years of previous military service. He was tall and stout with grey eyes and dark hair.

He was 1ST LT, US ARMY, according to Fort Snelling records.

In the 1920 census, he was still single and was living with his sister Virginia Hovander and family in the village of West Minneapolis in Minnetonka Twp. He was a corporate lawyer.

In the 1930 census, he is probably the Andrew Dahlberg, age 39, living in Edina with his wife Henrietta, 34, and their daughter Mary, 2 and 10 months. He was the proprietor of a garage. The household includes Ada Kelsing, 28, maid. The house number of their home is 4607 and the road or street is either Bruce Avenue or “Country Club.”

In the 1940 census, the family still lives at 4607 Bruce Avenue in Edina. This is a house they own and it is worth $6500. Andrew is a lawyer in the collections business. He works 20 hours per week and had no income in 1939. He had had four years of college, as had his wife, Henrietta.
