Alma Henden Stewart, 90th birthday (1992)
     Alma Odrun Henden was born on 28 July 1902 at Clarkfield, Yellow Medicine, Minnesota, USAB,G.3,1,2 She was the daughter of Ole Abrahamson Henden and Oline Eriksdatter Vik.4,2,1 Alma Odrun Henden was christened on 24 August 1902 at Clarkfield Lutheran Church, Clarkfield, Yellow Medicine, Minnesota, USAB,G.2 The photo shows Oline, her sister Nelle, Alma and Bertha Henden and Bertine Waldrof in 1905. She was a nurse, trained at Kahler Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota (now part of the Mayo Clinic.)5

     Alma Odrun Henden married Clarence Lee Stewart Jr., son of Clarence Lee Stewart and Marie Anna Waldron, on 8 September 1925 at Zumbro Lutheran Church, Rochester, Olmsted, Minnesota, USAB,G, at age 23.1,6

The Ole Henden family had a complicated relationship with Matt and Johanne Jurgenson's family. Alma lived with her uncle and aunt Matt and Johanne after her mother Oline died, and knew the Jurgenson children fairly well. Although Matt's older children aren't (immediately) related by blood to Alma, she thought of them as cousins just like the younger Jurgensons. She called them "shirttail relations".

     Alma's daughter Betty got reacquainted with Martin and Annie's sons Bob and Harris in Oregon in the 1980s, as well as Tom Beldin and Carole Hanson, Milla's and Judy's children respectively.9
