Selmer Abrahamson was maybe one of Nora’s early boyfriends? Mom said.
Mom said that Nora and her sister Helen moved to Rockford, IL to work at National Key Company. They stayed with relatives of Harmie Hommen while there, and that’s how Helen met Harmie, her future husband. After grade school the kids, including Nora and Helen, had to help work the farm, but Mom thought they left for Rockford around 18 years of age.
