    Notes 
    • Helga graduated from Crosby-Ironton High School in the class of ‘24 whose commencement services were held on Thursday night, May 29, 1924. Also graduating in that class was Lillian Everson (#50). And graduating from the Crosby-Ironton normal school for teachers in that same commencement program was Eva M. Gustad (#135).

      Lillian Everson and Helga knew each other well enough that Lillian wrote the following Christmas greeting to Helga, probably for one of the Christmases between 1924 and 1926: “A Merry Xmas & a happy New Year Mrs. Ske-- pardon me, I mean Helga. Lovingly, Lillian Everson.”

      Helga probably also attended, and graduated from, the one-year normal school in Crosby-Ironton High School and would have graduated with the class of 1925, the same class as her sister Naomi’s high school class.

      Taught for one year (1925-1926) in school district number 20 near her home. Entered St. Cloud state teachers' college in the fall of 1926 but had to drop out at Christmas time due to her developing heart ailment.

      Died of a congenital heart ailment. DeAnn quotes Jackie: “Helga was the eldest, born with a heart condition. Diagnosis was far ahead of treatment. The parents were told that Helga would die of her heart condition in early adulthood. Yet her parents sent her to Normal school to study to be a teacher.”

      Minnesota death certificate #1927-MN-003140.

      Her birth certificate calls her “Hilga” Landstrom. Her mother’s maiden name is shown as “Walbeck.”

      Extensive article and obituary in the Deerwood Enterprise, Friday, March 11, 1927.

      Her father Gustaf was the informant for her death certificate. She died of myocarditis, which she had had for 3 months and for which she was treated by Dr. Baxter A Smith of Crosby. The death certificate also said that she had “patent foramen ovale” which she had had since birth.
