Hi Neal,
Merle's Mother, Dorothea Katzung, was originally from the Blue Earth, MN area. After
her mother died, she was raised by an Aunt in Minneapolis. Dorothea met her husband,
Merrill Carrier in MPLS. (Merrill is the son of Elmer Carrier and Mamie Hubbard).
Merrill and Dorothea lived in North Dakota for a while after they were married. Merrill
drove bus for Grey Hound back then. After that, they bought a farm by Kensington, MN (not
far from Alexandria). They lived there until they retired and sold the farm.
Merrill's parents (Elmer and Mamie) had a summer place outside of Pillager, MN (by
Brainerd). Elmer built the log cabin in 1924. Merrill and Dorothea retired and lived at
the lake place (cabin) and built a year round home there.
Do you know Carolyn Racicot? My Uncle Merle Carrier just passed away on April 28th. (I am
Vicki's cousin). I'm trying to let Carolyn know, but my e-mail's to her are
bouncing. I know she lives in Canada, but I seem to have lost her postal address.
My mother is Marge & she is Merle's sister & daughter of Merrill and Dorothea
(Katzung) Carrier.
Gilbreath might also be spelled Galbreath or something similiar.
Have a great day!
