Note on Wife: Hólmfríður JÓNSDÓTTIR (1)

Hólmfríður Jónasdóttir name used in Baptism

Note on Wife: Hólmfríður JÓNSDÓTTIR (2)

Holmfridur at Dvergasteinn (Holmfrid of Dwarf Rock) In the year 1882 the Vidines (Willow Point) community was for-tunate in that a young woman settled at Gimli who had learned nursing and obstetrics in Iceland. She was Holmfridur Jonsdottir. and her fami-ly was from the Hunavatn County. For the next 16 years, until she moved permanently from the settlement, she used her specialized knowledge to aid her neighbours.

Holmfridur came from Iceland in 1881 with her husband Magnus Gudlaugsson and two young children. They differed in temperament, and parted. Shortly after, she became housekeeper for Asmundur Gudlaugsson, a farmer whose home was where the Gimli railway sta-tion was located in later years. He named his farm Dvergasteinn (Dwarf Rock) and the nurse who stayed there was usually called Holmfridur at Dvergasteinn. Though it was a busy household, neither Asmundur nor Holm-fridur was averse to her responding quickly and well when she was sent for to nurse a woman in childbirth or someone who was ill. She was an energetic worker, swift to put everything in order when the woman of the house was ill. Besides nursing, she would clean the house and serve food, as well as building up the courage of the family. Sometimes she would take the younger children home with her to look after. Holmfridur was stately and distinguished in bearing, good-looking, with blue eyes and chestnut hair, a little taller than average, erect and lively yet unhurried in motion. During the last 20 years of her life she lived in Selkirk, where she and Asmundur adopted the surname of Brown, which Asmundur's son used. She practiced nursing to the very last. She died in 192955

moved permanently from the settlement, she used her specialized
