We visited a few cemeteries. Here at the West Prairie Church on Highway 46 we had a chance run-in with Norm Vangsness who is a great-grandson of Ole and Christiana Vangsness. I am one generation newer, the great-great grandson. Our granddaughter happens to be their great-great-great-great granddaughter. I'd driven by this cemetery for about 80 years before knowing Mr. and Mrs. Vangsness's burial plot was here.
