1918 Cloquet, MN Fire

Cloquet, MN 1918 Fire Pictures submitted by Lois Proft

Adolph, Signa and oldest son Sherman lived in Cloquet at the time of the fire. They also had Signa's mother with them. They left Cloquet on the railroad flat bed Signa grabbed some diapers for Sherman and they had to load her mother's wheelchair onto the train. I believe they stayed in Duluth for a while. However they did return to Cloquet because Roy was born there in l922. Adolf worked at Falk during the war and at first lived with Frank and then moved his family to Milwaukee in the middle 1930's.
