Flo Holigroski is the grand-
daughter of Jon Sigurdsson
and Bogga (Ingibjorg) Hall-
son who lived at Geysir farm
at Mary Hill, MB. As she re-
lates in a story retold at her son
Craig’s wedding to his fiancée
Michelle 100 years later, her
paternal grandparents had a
somewhat rocky start to their
life together.
“It was in 1905, the second
of February — a cold winter
day and for whatever reason,
I guess my grandmother’s dad
didn’t want Jon Sigurdsson to
marry his daughter Ingibjorg.”
Flo speculates it was be-
cause of Jon’s religion — he
was a member of the Unitarian
Church — that Bogga’s father,
a Lutheran, objected.
“So her brothers locked
the old man in the barn so the
young lovers could make their
getaway in a horse and cutter,
at least 60 miles across coun-
try to a place called Raeburn.
From there they took a train
into Winnipeg and were mar-
ried in the home of a Unitarian
minister.
“Even people with objec-
tions [to a marriage] don’t
necessarily know how things
might go — but they lived
to be happily married for 65
years.”
Flo Holigroski lives in
Winnipeg, MB.
