Lottie ( real name Lavá - pronounced La VA, accent on second part ) last name was Evensdatter but her uncle changed the family name to a good American name of Johnson and she came to the United States in 1881. Her parents with her brothers and sisters left Norway aboard the SS Angelo. It was a feeder ship to Hull, England. From there they took a train to Liverpool to board the steamship for America.
Lottie left her husband and children and went to stay with different relatives at different times. If anyone came to the home of where she was she would hide from them. And if she got mad at whoever she was staying with she would just pick up and hop the train to another relative. In the 1930 census of Eli, Cherry County, Nebraska she is enumerated with her sister Maggie and her husband John T. Steele with their son Jack age 8.
I was told that she always wore rollers with a cap covering her hair.
