October 24 is a special day for us to remember. Most of us are related to the two fine ladies that were born on this day.
Julia Clara Opseth Ranum was born on October 24, 1885 in Rosewood, Minnesota. Her parents were Andrea and Hannah Opseth.
Julia Olette Olson Rye was born October 24, 1889, in Beltrami, Minnesota. She was born to Ole K Olson and Gertrude Halmgrimson.
We always thought it was special that both were named Julia and they had maiden names starting with O and married men with the last name starting with R.
It is the 122 anniversary of the birth of Julia Opseth and the 118th anniversary of the birth of Julia Olson.
Julia Ranum died in 1966 at the age of 81 Julia Rye died in 1980 at the age of 91.
These were strong women. They were the leaders in their family circle.
Congratulations to all of us who had these women as our ancestors.
