There were four children: Oscar, Aline (born in Finland). She was 7 years old. She saw little girls wearing hats in N.Y. 1st purchase. She never lost her love of pretty clothes. Fannie and John were born in Wis. where grandfather homesteaded. He built a 2 floor log house, donated some land for a school and built the first school. First school was held in grandfathers house until school bldg was finished. Teacher lived with them too. Grandfathers house is now in Old Wisconsin Park down near Racine area. Its and ethnic park. I've never gone there. I prefer to remember it as a cozy warm house with good food and my grandparents there. Lots of family and even some friends have viewed it in the park. It was written up in some prestigious magazines as an examply of early america.

From letter written by Allie Grimwood to Dan Grimwood, 11 May 1976:

Dear Danny, Here is a little family history. Your great-great grandparents, Jacob and Louisa Rankinson came to this country about 1880's. He had sailed the oceans (sailing ships) of the world for 14 yrs and was tired of it. He jumped ship in San Francisco. In those days there were no US restrictions as immigrants were welcome. He worked on the Canadian-Pacific R.R. and finally arrived in Minneapolis where he took out his first citizenship papers. He then went to Ironwood, Michigan where he got a mining job. He sent for his family which then included my Uncle Oscar (who just died a year ago at 92) and my mother, your great-grandma Aline Nina. My aunt Fannie (Pelto) and Uncle John (never married) were born in US. Grandfather then homesteaded in Oulu, Wis. He built a strong log house which by the time I was about 8 consisted of a kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms as well as a loft reached by very narrow stairway from the livingroom. I loved the farm--in back there was a virgin timber forest and a winding road lined with cherry trees led to the house. The place was planned in a square. There was also a blacksmith shop. Grandpa left a lot of beautiful trees standing in the fields, I suppose for shade for cattle. There was also an apple orchard where he planted a tree for each grandchild at birth. I remember that in the kitchen there was a stove (wood burning) a cupboard and homemade table and benches similar to our picnic tables.
