On this date 1929, Albert Negstad and Edith Bergh were married at Edith's parent's home in St. Paul, MN. Later they became parents of Lucille, Richard, David and Allan. Edith always talked about how bitterly cold it was perhaps because they set off on a two month honeymoon in their 1928 Model A, Ford, which had a very poor heater.
Their first stop was the Palmer House, Chicago, where Edith signed in Edith Bergh 😀. It must have been a long days drive from St. Paul. What were the roads like? They continued on to Niagara Falls, Washington, D.C., South Carolina and points in between. They didn't arrive at their South Dakota farm until early February. It was fortunate they made the trip becasue soon up was the depression, drought years and four children keeping them from travel for many years.
Why oh why didn't I ply them with questions about the trip; roads, sights, adventures, experiences? Among many regrets at this stage of life is all the things I didn't ask. In that I am probably not alone.
