Irvin Feragen may be my grandmother's brother. My grandmother is Inga and she had a second brother Arthur. Their father is Alexander Feragen, mother Emily Olson. Possibly Irvin (Irwin) named his daughter Inga after his sister, July 26,1914. My mother was born August, 1915 so she and Inga were cousins. My grandmother Inga moved to Washington state, where my mother was born.

Yeah, his first name is Harry - Harry Franklin Colby. He was born 24 Apr
1888 in Grandin, Cass, North Dakota to Judson Adonirom Colby and Helen
Franklin. He married Maude M. Hildreth in 1937, but I think he was married
before; because he had a son, David Franklin Colby who was also in the Air
Force. David died before Harry (1 Jun 1946) and is buried in Arlington. I
have not found anything on them, as a family.
Harry Franklin Colby and his wife, Maude both died 6 Dec 1951 in Idaho and
Harry is buried in Los Angeles. I don't know if Maude is there, too or
not. Or, why he died in Idaho but was buried in LA. Or, if there had been
some sort of accident, (froze to death, Idaho is just SO COLD!) or what.

Bulletin
2 June 1887
Mrs Georgianna F. Colby, who died at East Haverhill May 30, from that ever-dreaded disease consumption, was the daughter of Stephen A. Hall and sister to S. Wesley Hall. She was a most estimable woman, a devoted mother, a loving wife, and an affectionate friend, and through her sickness was a long and painful one she bore it with great patience, and her early death will be sincerely mourned not only by husband and three children, but by a large circle of relatives and friends; but they will be comforted by the thought that she had the Christian's hope. Her funeral was held at the village church Wednesday afternoon, and the services were very impressive. The pastor spoke words of comfort to the mourners, after which the remains were interred in Greenwood Cemetery beside her father and brother, and may the family in this their great bereavement say "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord."
[27 Dec 1842 - 30 May 1887]
