  Notes	We don’t know if she was born in Aitkin County or in Superior. Some of Ancestry’s family trees say that she was born in Aitkin County but in 1897. SSDI gives her birth date as 7 Jul 1896. The 1900 census has her as age 3, born in Minnesota in July of 1896. Called Beda in the 1910 census. Living with her parents in the 1900, 1905, and 1910 censuses. In the 1920 census, she (as Gyda) and her sister Nellie were boarders with the Hans and Rachel Hanson family in Minneapolis. Nellie was a stenographer for a rubber tire company. Gyda was a saleswoman in a retail grocery store. In the 1930 census, she and her husband and daughter lived at 4409 17th Avenue South in Minneapolis. In the 1940 census, she and her daughter lived in Aitkin. She was still shown as married but there is not a husband present. She had no occupation and no income in 1939. She had had an 8th grade education. She was Mrs. Gyda Tollefson of Minneapolis in Rudolf’s obituary. Gyda’s obit also mentions a Bertha Murphy as a sister (as does Rudolf’s obit and, later, Nellie’s). We have no idea who that Bertha is or how she relates to the rest of the family.
