MJN NINGARORÐ
Frú Jóna Kristjánson lézt
hér í Winnipeg þann 1. októ-
ber 1979 sl. sjötíu og þriggja
ára að aldri. Um œvi hennar
og störf má vísa í ritið Vest-
uríslenzkar Æviskrár I.
Um áratugaskeið var Jóna
i innsta -hring allra fslend-
ingafélaga hér i fylkinu. Hún
var æ fyrst á vettvang á
Frónsmótum, samkomum
Icelandic Canadian Club, Is-
lendingadeginum og fleira
mætti til tína. Hún var hljóm
listarkona. Hún var kona
ljóðsins. Hún var drjúgan
hluta ævi bandarískur þegn
og vitaskuld kanadískur
þegn, og svo var hún líka ís-
lenzk. Þessir þjóðernishættir
voru fallega samfléttaðir í
persónuleika hennar.
Fyrri mann sinn, dr. Matt-
hías J. Matthíason missti
Jóna árið 1943.‘Síðar giftist
hún dr. Wilhelm Kristjans'on
I Winnipeg, sem er nýlátinn.
Will var ekkjumaður og við
giftingu þeirra Jónu runnu
saman tveir barnahópar, sem
síðan ólust upp sem ein fjöl-
skylda. Var það heimilishald
allt til fyrirmyndar.
Á heimilinu ríkti andi ein-
ingar og menningar. Tiðum
var þar gripið í hljóðfæri af
húsmóðurinni. Húsbóndinn
sat við fræði- og ritstörf. —
Synirnir urðu háiærðir próf-
essorar og dæturnar gengu
sinn menntaveg.
Afkomendurnir búa nú
dreift en haldá þó hópinn vel
og mynda mikinn og mann-
vænlegan frændgarð. H.B.

ritsins og hefur það komið

landic Canadian var rithöf-
undurinn Laura Goodman
Salverson. Núverandi rit-
stjóri er Axel Vopnfjörð. —
Tímaritið er efnismikið og
eiga margir góðir höfundar
þar greinar um ýmis efni
sem varða íslendinga vestan
hafs og austan. Valdimar
Björnson, fyrrverandi fjár-
málaráðherra Minnesotafylk
