Erling Nicolai Rolfsrud and Jessie Beverly Brown Rolfsrud: 1951

1951

GOPHER TAILS FOR PAPA published by Augsburg Publishing House, Minneapolis. I qualified for membership in the Authors' League of America. We left Deerwood (place unsold) and moved to Lake Andrew farmstead -- 17 acres purchased from Mrs. Agnes Rooney. Remodeled attic for writing quarters. Razed an old chicken coop, and later the barn. Made a shed into a playhouse.

Welcome

This is the chronology of the life of author, teacher, and parent, Erling Rolfsrud, who died Aug. 21, 1994, in Alexandria, Minnesota.

Since the passing of his wife, Beverly, on Jan. 26, 2015, we have added some autobiographical material written by her.
A meticulous keeper of details, he kept copious notes and files on many topics, including himself.
This chronology is taken directly from a document he prepared for his children's use. It is reprinted here by his son for any who are interested.
In the future, photos and other augmentations will be published as well, as time and interest allows.
