  Notes	His birth certificate identified him as Albin Everson, the fifth child. His father was a carpenter. His birth certificate was amended in some way in February of 1942 and required (and includes) his mother’s signature. Albin was still living with Andrew and Annie, and shown as “single”, at the time of the 1930 census in early April. The 1937-38 Brainerd city directory, which includes other communities in Crow Wing County, Albin is shown as living in Deerwood Twp and his address is Aitkin 3. Albin is not listed in the 1939-40 directory. In the 1942-43 directory, Albin is shown as living in Deerwood Twp but not owning land. In the 1946 Crosby directory, Albin is shown as living in Section 35 of Rabbit Lake Township, rural postal delivery on the Aitkin 3 route. In the 1949 directory, Albin is shown as living in Rabbit Lake Twp. David says that his father “worked on jobs far away when he could get hired. He disliked working regular jobs like in the mines.” A bill in the state legislature in January of 1939 (H. F. No. 226) was for an “Appropriation to Albin Everson for damage to real property by flooding due to the negligent operation of the Cedar Lake dam.” In the 1940 census, Albin and his family live on a rented farm in Deerwood Twp. His wife, Naomi, was the census enumerator. Albin was a farmer with zero wages earned in 1939. He had an eighth-grade education. His wife, Naomi, had education through one year of college. Naomi was not employed at the time of the census (other than as enumerator). Albin had worked all 52 weeks of 1939 but with zero money wages. He did “receive income of $50 or more from sources other than money wages or salary.” He and Naomi purchased the Rabbit Lake farm, previously occupied or owned by Martin Monson, in 1942. According to David, after their marriage, Albin and Naomi lived in a house on Cedar Lake near Andrew and Anna Everson until 1943. Naomi was a schoolteacher at the Cedar Lake School (District 27) until Ron and David started school, then she was required to quit. The family moved to Iron Hub in 1943. David recalls, “The house we moved into was a miserable three-room, unpainted house. We stayed in that house for two years, then my mother built the new house on higher ground that she lived in for the rest of her life. The house was built with money my mother saved from my father’s wages during the year he worked in England.” In the summer of 1943, Albin worked for the Miller Construction Co. of Edmonton on the Alaska Highway Telephone Line. Albin was in England with Harold working on a drilling project in the 2nd half of 1944 and the first half of 1945. Albin spent most of his time in Cardenden in the Fife region of Scotland. (Harold was in Dunfermline, Scotland, in December of 1944.) This was called the U.K. Project of Great Britain conducted by the W.E. Callahan Construction Company of Dallas. According to Albin’s drilling notebook, the project was a series of test holes to locate coal. Albin left England in July of 1945. We know from George’s letter to Harold of September 13, 1945, that by that time Albin was drilling “in Palisade.” From September to December of 1946, Albin worked in Honduras as a diamond drill operator for P. W. Chase of Tegucigalpa and Joy Manufacturing Co. - Sullivan Division. The contract was for 4 months work at $300/month. According to his passport, Albin was in Venezuela in February of 1948. In the 1950 census, he and Naomi and their three youngest children live in Rabbit Lake Twp. Albin is a drill runner for an iron mine. Albin worked as a wagon drill operator (W.D.O.) in the fall of 1952 (August through November) for North Atlantic Constructors. An article in the Thursday, January 22, 1953, edition of the Brainerd newspaper noted that Albin was fined $100 for drunken driving and his drivers license was revoked. Albin worked as a light equipment operator in Iceland in 1953 (May through November) on an Army contract with Metcalf Hamilton Smith Beck. In 1956 and 1957, Albin worked as a wagon drill operator for Greenland Contractors in Thule, Greenland. His pay was $2.80/hour with a guaranteed 260 hours/month. Greenland Contractors was a joint venture of four construction companies: two from Omaha and two from Minneapolis. Albin was also employed at some point by the Bureau of Mines as a core drill operator. This was through the Region V, Aitkin Mining Division, Development Branch. Elaine remembers Albin as having debilitating lung condition. He received treatment at the Nopeming Sanatorium in Nopeming, Minnesota, for 52 days between December 11, 1967, and January 31, 1968. In May of 1969, a letter from the Nopeming Sanatorium indicates that Albin was still receiving quarterly X-rays there. The informant for Albin’s death certificate was his wife Naomi who identified herself, as the name of Albin’s wife, as Naomi Landstrom Everson. She and Albin lived at Route 3, Aitkin, in Rabbit Lake. Albin was a driller in the mining industry. He died from cardiac arrest brought on, or complicated by, cirrhosis, emphysema, and bronchopneumonia.

  		Naomi and Albin's wedding picture 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.
