Lindberg Family
History in Book
Grandfather of Famous Filler Set
tied East of Sank Centre
In 1859

A wealth of new material on the
Lindbergh family, revealing for the
first time the contents of letters
and other intimate papers, is to be
made public in the family's official
biography by Lynn and Dora B.
Haines, for many years the init
mate friends of Congressman Lind
bergh, the ColonePs father. This
biography was authorized for pub
location by Mrs. Eva Lindbergh
Christie, Colonel Lindbergh's half
sister.
In a foreword, Mrs. Christie
writes:
This is the story Of the Lind
bergh family through three genera
tions from the pioneer period to
the present day, accenting the life
of my father, the late Charles A.
whose revolt against
tradition met with aggressive OPP
position all through his political
career. That many of the ideas he
now merit a casual ac-
ceptance is an enlightening illus
tration of the evolution Of public
thinking. Lynn and Dora Haines
were personal friends of my father.
In providing them with extracts
from his letters to me, I have tried
to select those which might enlight-
en- others concerning his philosophy
Of living and his public career"
The story Of how the flyers
Ola Manson, who
changed his name to August Lind
bergh, came to the United States
to start life anew at the age of
fifty with his young bride of
twenty, is told in picturesque de-
tail from the family recollections.
They crossed the Atlantic in 1859
with their infant SON, who was to
be the famous aviator's father. For
thirty-dve days, by railroad, river
boat and prairie schooner drawn
by oxen, they crossed the country
to the wilderness Of Minnesota and
settled in Melrose. With them they
carried brake pillow, which was

Sank Centre 4. MelrOse 5, In Ten
Inning Scorcher SUNDAY

Sank Centre base ball fans, who
travelled to Melrose Sunday, were
treated to classic such as is only
seen once in lifetime. Ten inn
ings Of exciting baseball, with only
the first frame bad for the locals.
Sank Centre was out one, two, three
in the first time up. H. Lemm, first
man up for Melrose, was safe on a
hit, he stole second base and adj
vanced to third when Gerdes was
safe on an error at first. Moening
was safe on an error on the CATCH
er and Lemm scored. Both Moen-
Ing and Gerdes scored on a passed
ball. The other three were easy
outs.
1t looked bad for the Sank Gen.
ire boys but they went into the
second frame with the old baseball
spirit and three men were taken in
order. In the second Sank Centre
threatened when Lieser got a hit,
but the boys could not follow up.
Until the sixth inning both teams
went scoreless.
In the sixth frame Sank Centres
batters started a cannonade and
after the dust cleared away the re-
suit was four scores on just that
many hits and three errors. Mel
rose retaliated with one counter in
their part of the sixth when they
got their second hit of the game,
coupled with two errors by our
boys.
The score was then knotted and 4
and the game continued even until
the last Of the tenth when Kolb
hit one over third base, stole Sec
ond and came home on Gerde's
single, ending the game to 5.
The Sank Centre boys played
some mighty good baseball, and
especial credit should be given to
Pete Pflipsen, who caught a won
derful game for the locals. Soltau's
pitching was superb for he struck
out ten men and allowed only five
hits, two of them being very
scratchy. After the first inning the
locals gave Soltau excellent sup
port, and had 1t been forthcoming
in the first the results would have
been disastrous for Melrose.
Taken all in all fans got their
moneys worth and it Is predicted
that they will see some very good
baseball here in the future. Some
of the younger boys played in their
first game Sunday and suffered a
trifle with buck fever, but not for
very long. They conducted them
selves like majors at the plate and
give promise Of developing into
some excellent ball players.
Next Sunday Neil Hopkins. new
catcher for Sank Centre, will be
