GLADHEIM, OLE B and CLARA J and family: I am going by stories and by living close to the area and visiting often with Mother....but I can't find a paper trail! A friend recently tried to locate grandparents Ole and Clara Gladheim in 1920 census in Mountrail County. No luck. My mother was born on the farm south of Sanish in 1918. Several aunts also were born there in subsequent years.By 1920 there should be at least 2 or 3 girls in the family. I looked on a township map of Mountrail county and the small area between the Missouri River and Osbourn Twnp is approximately where I remember walking. The farmhouse was high on the bluffs on the west bank of the river before the dam, about 6-8 miles south of Crow Flies High and Two Bears Bridge. Another mile down the road is a small church where my g-aunt and uncle are buried. Since this area between Osbourn twnsp and the river is not lableled, does that mean that the census was not taken here? Any insight would be great! Th! ank you! Elaine Homan P.S. The Gladheim's lived in this area from appr. 1916 to 1931. Also living in this area were Gullicksons, Pfundhellers, Melbys and Ranums.
