Berthold returned to his Moscow Township, Freeborn County, MN, home with a picture of
Bertha and Erick and the 15 children. Also, a picture of Bertha's grandparents, John T.
and Bertha Stoa were among th old family pictures of the Eric Nyhus family. Bertha's

concerned about their grandchild, Bertha, but Knut's faamily did not know about her.
