Magna was a quiet gentle person, not one who would bring attention to
herself. Magna was an elementary school teacher before she married.
She taught in one room schools and lived usually with a family in the
area she taught as part of the room and board arrangement. Magna's
brother, George, developed tuberculosis. Since she was the only one
bringing in an income at the time, she paid for and accompanied George
to Mayo Clinic in Rochester. George was cured from TB and lived a
long time. Following the death of her father, Magna was left in charge
of the Stromberg farm after her brothers and sister moved away. She
rented it out several times, but due to the economy and the weather
rents were not forthcoming and eventually the farm was lost due to non
payment of taxes. There are letter from her siblings imploring her to
come for a visit, but due to economic conditions she was not even able
to go to her mother's funeral. Magna had a cousin named Celia A.
Larson who married a Swanson. She also helped raise Robert's children
after the death of his wife, Ila Mae.
