    Notes 
    • Naomi was still living at home with Klara and Carl, and shown as single, at the time of the 1930 census in early April. Naomi would have been 6 months pregnant with Ron at that time.

      David recalls: “After we moved away from Cedar Lake [in 1943], my mother went back to teaching there. She continued to teach there until 1948 when the WWII vets started coming out of college and the standards for teaching were raised to a four-year degree. She went back to college during the winter quarter of 1950 and accumulated enough credits to get her certificate renewed. She continued to go to summer school every year and eventually got her degree after all of her children had graduated.”

      Naomi taught grades 1-8 in District 90, Crow Wing County, in the 1926-27 school year. She then taught grades 1-8 in District 20 for the three years 1927-28 through 1929-30. She then taught grades 1-8 in District 27 in the 1930-31, 1932-33, and 1933-34 school years (she apparently did not teach during the 1931-32 school year). She then resumed teaching grades 1-8 in District 90 for the four school years 1944-45 through 1947-48. After two years of not teaching (part of which was spent attending two semesters at the University of Minnesota in Duluth), she taught grades 1-8 for two years in District 102 in Aitkin County (1950-51 and 1951-52). From the 1952-53 school year through the 1954-55 school year, she taught grades 1-6 in District 34 in Crow Wing County. For the three school years starting in 1955, she taught grades 1-6 in Independent School District 4 in Lawler, Minnesota. For one year only, the 1958-59 school year, she taught grades 1-3 in Tamarack, Minnesota. Finally for the seven school years beginning in 1959 she taught special classes in McGregor, Minnesota. Lawler, Tamarack, and McGregor were all in Independent School District 4 in Aitkin County. She apparently retired in 1966. Over the forty year period between 1926 and 1966, Naomi taught in 27 school years.

      Naomi attended elementary school, 1911-1920, in District 20, Crow Wing County. She attended Crosby-Ironton High School and graduated with the class of 1925. She attended the high school training department at Crosby-Ironton in the 1925-26 school year. She attended Duluth State Teachers College in the summer of 1928. Between 1950 and 1960 she took correspondence courses, summer workshops, and summer sessions at the Bemidji and Mankato teachers colleges and at the Duluth and Twin Cities campuses of the U of Minnesota. She received her Bachelor of Science degree (as Naomi Landstrom Everson) from the University of Minnesota in August of 1960.

      In his September 13, 1945 letter to his brother Harold, George Everson wrote: “Naomi is teaching school again at the same place.”

      Naomi travelled to Sweden in the 1970s and kept up a regular correspondence with her father’s and mother’s Swedish relatives. Naomi “had hopes” of going to Sweden to be an “exchange teacher.”

      Minnesota Death Cert ID# 1986-MN-014799.

      Her birth certificate reads “N. Johanna.” Her mother’s maiden name is shown as “Walbeck.”

      In the November 6, 1985, issue of the Aitkin Independent Age, the Iron Hub correspondent, Mrs. Nora Jones, wrote,”Naomi Everson entered St. Joseph’s Hospital in Brainerd last Wednesday. She underwent surgery on Thursday. As I write this Sunday night, Naomi is seriously ill and not up to having company other than family members. Naomi is a friend to many of us and until she is well enough for company we will do best to remember her and her family in our prayers.”

    About 1929. The exact date is unclear because, in the 1930 census (early April), Albin and Naomi were each listed as living at home with their parents and were designated "single." This photo was taken by the Erikson studio of Aitkin.
