Notes from P.A. (Bud) Lund
February 2nd, 2001

Grandfather Lund (H.I.) had several brothers but the only one other than he that came up to Central Alberta was Uncle Andrew who homesteaded land on the north-east side of Pine Lake in the spring of 1901.  Then [he] later located to the Horn Hill district in 1916, and moved into town [Red Deer] to retire in 1929.  He died in the late winter of 1931, and his wife (Aunt Lizzie) lived on to April 1945.  They [had] lived in Sabula, Iowa on the Mississippi River.  [Great] Uncle Andrew was married twice and from is first [wife] produced two sons [John & Fred] and two daughters [Josephine & ?? ].

[Uncle Andrew's] His oldest [son, John] never moved to Alberta, but stayed in Chicago.  John was a bicycle racer and worked among them which gave him a chance to move to automobile field where he worked his way up in the Ford Motor Co., where [he] became Manager of the San Francisco Division, but took early retirement rather than move to the Eastern States where he was offered the Managers position in the Philadelphia Division.   He [John] lived on in San Francisco and made almost yearly visits to Red Deer to visit his mother [or step-mother?]. He died in 1946.

Josephine was married to Frank Pettipher and came up to the Red Deer area where he became Manager of the Great West Lumber Co.  With the end of the boom just before the beginning of the Great War, the mill was closed down and Frank moved to the Spokane area where he was employed in the Lumber Industry.

Fred was the last born to Andrew's first wife, and after her death he [Andrew] remarried Elizabeth, Aunt Lizzie, who bore him three more children.  George, Lou and Edna.

Another relative, was a son of another of Grandpa's [H.I.] brothers, who was the only relative to see service during the First World War.  He was Hans Lund and lived in the Hanna area, and had two daughters, Mary and Edna.  He was a carpenter by trade.  His wife was a war bride of the First World War, originally from the Manchester area [of England].

Also two sons of another brother lived in the Brookings area of South Dakota and came up for a visit in 1955.  There was two or three daughters but I have no knowledge of their history.

Oh, I forgot the forth of Uncle Andrew's offspring.  He was Fred Lund and lived in Red Deer.  He had the Ford Dealership in the mid twenties.  He was a charter member of the Red Deer Elks lodge which was chartered in 1924.  He sold the dealership to Reg Whyte around 1927 and moved to the lower mainland of B.C.

I think this about enough for this session on the computer, till further information requested.
