Notes about Norman Samuel Knutson

Source: Fett, Janet, e-mail to David A. Navorska regarding Sleaper, (S. Sioux City, NE, JF, vi Nov MMVI)

"The person I'm most interested is Norman Knutson (1929-1979). He was married to my aunt. I'm not sure if his parents were Carl Knutson and Jeanette Moore (you list them as having a child as "living Knutson") Norman died in the Minneapolis area, and the MN death index lists his mothers maiden as "SLEAPER". So was Jeanette his mother??? I know Jeanette died young and Carl married a Gertie Sleaper. I think Jeanette's mother and Gertie were sisters???? Norman's sister/half sister, Rhoda Knutson also married a cousin in my family, and she is still living. It sounds like Norman had 5 siblings. Rhoda, plus two other sisters and two brothers. One brother was named Carl."
