Berthold Magnus Rudolf Knudson

Alma reports that Berthold, aka Bert, , was born April 8, 1890 and he died March 25, 1954. Bert as Alma refers to him,.is not mentioned as a member of the family band. Alf was just five years old at the time Bert was born and he was very fond of his grandmother Knudson who had just passed away about a month earlier. When he first saw Bert he begged Lars to call him " Bestmor" [Grandmother]. Thus Bert was given the name of Berthold Magnus Rudolph, with the three main letters of Bestmor in memory of Grandmother.

Bert married Lorena Harris in Montana on May 10, 1922. Bert and Alma both struck claims in Montana and proved up on them in 1921.
