This is what Adolph wrote and it always makes me laugh. Carl was Adolph's younger brother. If Carl was age six, Adolph would have been eight years old...
"I don't remember anything about the trip until we reached Market Lake, now Roberts. We had to get flour, sugar, potatoes, etc., as it would be a long trip with team and wagon for more groceries. They laid about four sacks of flour on a platform for us to pick up and Carl, then 6+, asked me to roll a sack of flour on his shoulder so he could take it to the wagon. I rolled it off and flattened him in the mud."

Reply to Karen's Comment...
I tried to post a comment to my own blog...and I lost it. If it shows up somewhere else, you'll know what happened. So now, I'll try again.
Granddad (Adolph) Lundholm went to work as a "temp" at the paper mill in Lebanon OR and worked there for the next 40 years. He worked in the "wood mill" where they made paper pulp. When Crown Zellerbach discontinued the wood mill, Adolph had seniority, so they "let" him shovel woodchips from a boxcar for the last five years of his work life! Maybe that is why he was so healthy.
Gr Granddad Sam expected his children to give him their paychecks. Shortly after May and Adolph were married, Sam came and asked them for money. May put an end to that...I'll bet he only asked once!
