"After graduating from high school in Clarkfield, Bertha attended the Lutheran Normal School in Madison, Minnesota, graduating June 2, 1922. She must have taken the two year course because she was qualified to teach in rural schools. Town schools required more training. A loose class day program in her "Normal School Echo" says "Madison LNS. May 28, 1925-1926 When I taught there" in Bertha's writing." -- Betty Stewart.10 She was a teacher on 19 April 1930 at Stony Run Township, Yellow Medicine, Minnesota, USAB,G.11,12
