McCallson, LeRoy and Mae

 

LeRoy, son of L. A. McCallson, and Mae Cederson, daughter of Charles and Jennie Cederson, are living in Hannaford.  Both were born in Hannaford.  A daughter, Judith (Judy) and a son, Jerome, are the two children.  They are both graduates of Hannaford High School.  Judy married Donald Isaacson in 1960, and has twin boys, James and Jeffrey who were born in 1963.  Mr. Isaacson is an employee of Bell Telephone.  Jerome graduated from the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks and is a CPA now employed with Minnesota State Legislature.  He resides at Roseville, Minnesota.

LeRoy, employee of Great Northern Maintenance of Ways at Hannaford for 29 years.  He served in the military services during World War II.  Mae has been employed throughout the years at Fred Mathison's Hotel, C. M. Jacobson Cafe, Joe Meyer's Cafe, and operated Mae's Cafe for five years, Donald Knauss Mercantile, Don Linde Cafe in Walum, and employed for 11 years at the Stri-King Cafe.

The greatest and most welcome surprise in our family was the birth of twin grandsons, James and Jeffrey Isaacson.  Then tragedy fell in the fall of 1978, when Don and Judy and boys had to return from Iran where Don had been sent by Bell Telephone to assist the erecting of a satellite for the company.  Don got cancer and died the same year in Fargo.  Now Judy is married to Larry Fritz and still lives in Fargo.
