| Det bör vara Jonas Oskar född 4/12 1891 i Aspsele, Björna, son till Jonas Viklund och Kristina Kristoffersdotter och Nils Konstantin född 21/5 1894 i Aspsele, Björna.
I Sveriges befolkning 1900 finns inte Nils Konstantin född 1894 med, däremot en Nils Aron född 1895, vilken jag däremot inte hittar i Scb födda Björna.

NORDIN, John & Mina - by Ernest Nordin - John Nordin was born in Bjorna, Sweden in 1871. He immigrated to Canada in 1902 and went to Cranbrook, B. C. where he worked in the mines for 2 years. In 1904 he came to Alberta and homesteaded on S.W.-32-48-20 where he remained until his passing in 1955, when he was 83 years old.
Johanna Vilhelmina, daughter of Anders and Katharina Kristofferson, was born on May 28, 1891 in Vilhelmina, Sweden. In 1908 she immigrated to Canada, worked and settled in the Wilhelmina area north of Camrose where she remained for her entire life.
Mina, as she was known, married Olaf Forsen in 1910. They had 3 children before Olaf's death in 1915. They are Alvin Forsen, RR2 Camrose, Irma Johnson, Lady Smith, B. C., and Roy Forsen, deceased.
On June 23, 1918 Mina and John Aron Nordin were married. This marriage was blessed with 6 children. Sylvia deceased, John and Otto of Edmonton, Ernest of Camrose, Reynold of Camrose and Kenneth of Calgary. Mina was a lifelong member of the Wilhelmina Lutheran Church and the last surviving Chartered member She passed away October 8, 1974 when 83 years old.
There were many hardships for pioneers who arrived at the turn of the century. John often spoke of the winter of 1906-1907 which broke records as far as snowfall and cold. Having poor roads and being a long way from a trading center caused hardships.
The land was heavily wooded so clearing it was a back breaking job. John grubbed and brushed most of it with an axe. He broke 140 acres with a 6 and 8 horse outfit. The last few acres were broken with a 1920 International 10-20 Titan tractor.
John was road foreman for Local Improvement District 24-P4 which later became the M.D. of Lloyd George. He built many miles of road with 4 horses and a frezno.
Mother and Dad often talked about the year 1918 when the dreadful flu epidemic took its toll of victims. They also talked about the winter of 1919-20. Early snow and late spring produced a shortage of feed. The high prices for feed in the spring of 1920 and the bottom falling out of the beef market drove many ranchers into bankruptcy. Mother also mentioned getting stuck in the snow drifts with the horses and buggy in the middle of May in 1920.
We all went to the Brandland School. It was a one room school with a poor heating system. In cold windy weather it was impossible to get it warm enough to feel comfortable, so we quite often had to sit with our overcoats on. At one time there were 48 children and 9 grades taught by one teacher. There weren't enough desks, SO some of us had to sit on apple boxes. The school still stands at the west shore of Miquelon Lake where it was moved. It is used by the United Farmers of Alberta.
We had to travel 2 miles to school. In winter we sometimes drove with one horse and cutter or used skis or walked. Before and after school there was always chores to do. School had its fun time. We had a ball team and would play against other schools. Transportation was by foot most of the time. There were also field days in Camrose. In winter we played hockey or skated on what we called Johnson's Slough. It was not uncommon to shovel a couple of feet of snow before we could start skating. Money was scarce so for hockey equipment we made makeshift pads from Eaton's catalogs or horse sweat pads. Hockey sticks were made Out of willow trees.
Going to school in the "hungry thirties" also had its excitement. The M.D. of Lloyd George paid a bounty of one cent for crow and magpie eggs or feet and gopher tails. When returning home from school in May and June we looked for magpie or crow's nests. If there was one in sight we would climb the tree and retrieve the eggs, usually in our pockets or cap. If we were lucky enough to get down without breaking the eggs we would punch a hole in either end and blow the insides out. I don't think we made any money as it was rather hard on clothes.
The gophers were either trapped, snared or by any other method we could think of. The theater would allow us 15 cents on a pair of crow or magpie feet towards the price of admission to a show. We got 12 cents a dozen for crow and magpie eggs and in those days domestic eggs were selling for five cents a dozen.
I can remember the year 1935-1936. On Aug. 14 we had a killing frost. Farmers set fire to old straw piles and brush piles hoping to save some of their crops. We cut, stooked, and threshed our crop but the grain looked like bran. It was almost useless as far as food value was concerned. Then an early heavy snow fall came and temperatures dropped to 60 degrees below fahrenheit.
There was a large slough across from our farm house that had been cropped for 3 previous years. It filled with water in the spring of 1936 and is still full of water. There were many other early falls so we had to do our harvesting in the spring. The 3 day blizzard of 1951 plugged some roads that were never opened until the spring thaw.
As the years progressed roads improved, we got better buildings and equipment and times did not seem so bad, the biggest improvement in rural life was when we got electricity in 1953 and natural gas in 1974.
1 was married in 1969. We remained on the farm until June of 1974. Then because of our health problems we sold the farm and moved to Camrose, Alberta.
NORDIN, Reynold - Reynold Nils Nordin was born at Lundemo, in the Brandland district, on Oct. 24, 1923. He was the 4th. child of John Aaron Nordin and Wilhelmina Kristopherson.
Reynold spent all his life on the farm. He started attending the Brandland school in the late '20s.
In Nov. 1947, he was united in marriage to Adelia Martha Schoenknecht in Hay Lakes. After renting the farm (SE 32-48-20 W4, formerly the Tornquist place) they then purchased it from the owner Mildred Hallgren in 1952.
Born to Reynold and Adelia Nordin were 3 sons and 1 daughter.
