Harold Edward Michaelis and Marcella Jeanette Larson were married June 10, 1943 in West Prairie Church, Pilot Mound Township. We lived and farmed Harold's Father's farm (Herman Michaelis) in Bald Hill Township for two years.
In the spring of 1946 we moved to our present farm, known as the Thinglestad farm, which we bought in 1947 in Pilot Mound Township. Harold worked for a short time at the Anaconda Cooper Mining Company in Montana.
