Addresses According to her daughter, Lorna Schneider Dimich:
...she was born in Dawson, MN to Francis and Estelle Crane. She married Ralph Mundwiler and promptly had three babies, Donald, Russell and Jean. She had the terrible flu in 1917 and when she came out of her coma, her husband had died of the flu and she was left with three little babies. Between her sister, Aunt Hilda and Grandma Crane, the children were cared for and eventually she went to work as a telephone operator in Minot, ND. My father was working out in that area on a farm and that's how they met and eventually married and had Zeda Ann and I. My dad was born and grew up in and around the area of Henderson and Le Sueur so of course, they were destined to return to that area.
I know that Mildred and Ralph moved to Minot shortly after their marriage as Donald was born in Minot ten months later. It seems likely that this is the time period where she worked as a telephone operator. They returned to Dawson prior to Russell's birth in 1917.
Mildred and Ralph were stricken by the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1919 which resulted in the death of Ralph at a young age. It seems unlikely that Mildred would have then moved back to Minot with three young children.
Mildred and Erven must have moved to the Le Sueur area soon after their marriage in 1920 as Zeda Ann was born in Henderson in 1921.
