| Notes: | Mayme's parents were originally from Luxembourg. At the time of the June 1880 U.S. Federal Census, Mary was |
| 8 years old and living with her parents and brother Nick in Washington,
Winneshiek, Iowa. Her father Jacob was working as a saloon keeper. Sometime around 1885 he passed away. He was living at
261 W. 7th in St. Paul, Minnesota at the time, and first showed up in the Minnesota area in the 1882-1883 St. Paul Directory.
The St. Paul City Directory of 1885 through 1886 lists Margaret Nockels at 261 W. 7th. The St. Paul City Directory of 1891-1892 lists Mary boarding at 176 W. 7th and working as a milliner. Her brother Edward N. was working as an electrician and living at the same address along with their mother Mary, the widow of Jacob Nockels. Her mother had not remarried and was still living in St. Paul in 1909 but at a different address, 112 Atwater. In 1890 and 1891 Mary was working as a clerk for G. A. Kahn in St. Paul, Minnesota. At the time of the June 1, 1895 Minnesota state census, Mary and her mother Mary were living in Litchfield, Meeker, Minnesota with J. Konsbrick, age 48, who ran a saloon. John Konsbrick was young Mary's maternal uncle. The June 1, 1900 census found her 28 years old and living with her husband Sigurdt and Swedish servant Phoebe Lund in Willmar, MN; her brother-in-law Gauthe Qvale, Gauthe's wife Johanna "Jennie", and mother-in-law Gurine Qvale lived next door. In the June 22, 1905 Minnesota state census she was 32 years old, still living with her husband next door to her brother- and mother-in-law on Litchfield Ave. in Willmar, MN. In the April 20, 1910 census, Mayme was 38 years old and living with her husband and Swedish servant Lottie Rundberg in the same home on East Litchfield Ave. in Willmar, MN. On January 19, 1920 she stated her age to be 46 and she and her husband were still living on Litchfield Ave. East in Willmar next to her brother-in-law Gauthe and his family. Their son Richard B. and Swedish servant Lottie Rundberg were living with them as well. At the time of the April 4, 1930 U.S. Federal Census, Mamye was 57 years old and living with her husband Sigurdt and 19-year-old son Richard in a rented apartment at 616 Summit Ave., St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. The family did not have a radio. Sigurdt was working as a Prohibition Administrator for the U. S. Government. He stated that he and Mayme were married when he was 33 and she was 27 years old. [Source: 1930 U.S. Federal Census, Roll: T626-1119; Page: 5A; E.D.: 101] 616 Summit Avenue in St. Paul was and is known as the Minnesota Apartments, and was built in 1928. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. The notorious gangster John Dillinger rented one of the front one-bedroom apartments in the 1920s. Unit 307 is currently a 510-square-foot, one bedroom, one bathroom, brick condominium. The 1930 city directory indicates that Sigurdt B. Qvale, the superintendent of permits employed by the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol of the U. S. Treasury Department, and his wife, Mayme Qvale, resided at apartment #307. Mayme was of the Catholic faith. She passed away at Haven Rest Home in Rose Township on April 17, 1943 from heart failure at the age of 70. |
