Lloyd Samuel Erickson's "Memoirs"

Thanks to Lloyd Samuel Erickson's outstanding interest for family history throughout most of his life, we today know a lot more about our family than most people.

As a keen observer with a strong knowledge of people and communities Lloyd in his "Memoirs" gives us valuable and very good time images from eras of his eventful life.

Early days

PictureThis is probably Anna Honningsvaah Erickson with one of the children. Is it Lloyd?
Lloyd Samuel Erickson (1916 - 2010) had his early days on the Erickson farm in Irma, near the small town Wainwright in Alberta, Canada.

His homemade historic magazine, called "Memoirs", has 21 stories, which are printed over 82 A4-pages. He personally gave me one copy in 2008, and wanted me to use it in the best interests of the family.

Some stories are from certain eras in his life, and some are from some of the many trips he made.

First story he titled "Memoirs", but thats also the title of the magazine. Therefor the first story here is named "Early Days".



It takes the reader back to first years after settling the farmland at Erickson farm in Irma. No doubt, there was nothing but hard work from day one!

All Lloyd's stories are presented on it's own page here in our website, starting with the first one on this page, "Early Days".


Lloyd is a good writer and excellent storyteller. Enjoy!
