Creek and Norfolk, and another son Bill, lives south of Tilden. the mother now makes her home with Bill and his family.

There were others who came for a while and then passed from the scene, namely: the Karbel family, brothers of Mrs. Joe Severa. Lambert was in business in town for a while; as was also Joe Srb. It is difficult to gather information about a family when they are gone.

Jim Blahovek who married a John Brozek daughter had a pool hall here for quite a few years in the early 1900s. He and his wife were popular with the young people of that day.

Nick Lund who followed the railroad into town as a construction worker, stayed on as the first section foreman. In the years to follow, Joseph Zohner and Karl Balofski were in Mr. Lund's crew.

Nick Lund, a Dane, married Carolyn Beck. Their first home was in the section house which was located east of the depot on the north side of the tracks. Being a thrifty man, he bought the land lying east of Depot Street over to Boyer Street which included all the land now the Frank Moore Property, eastward to include the James Finkral property. In time also acquired the farm which is now owned by Vic Gronau northwest of Battle Creek and another tract of land north of Meadow Grove.

The Lund children included Henry; Mayme, who became Mrs. Murray Tyler. Mr. Tyler was a Chicago Northwestern Railway engineer. Phil, who married Josephine Hedman, was for years railway conductor. Their home being the residence now owned by Mrs. John Volk, Sr. Margaret, who became Mrs. Joe Maas. Mr. Maas was engaged in the grocery business in Battle Creek until about 1919 when he sold out and moved to Norfolk to engage in business there. They built the residence which is now the Jesse Reeves home. Jack, who was also a railroad man; Sadie, who for years clerked in Joe Maas' store; and Frank who married Grace Nolan. Frank became a dentist and before the war started practicing in Oakdale. He served with the armed forces in France in 1918. Upon receiving his discharge from the service in 1919, he established his practice in the dental offices over the Battle Creek Valley Bank. Dr. Warren Hall, Battle Creek's first resident dentist, had by this time moved to Norfolk.

Dr. Lund enjoyed a good practice here and built the residence which is now the Ernest Prauner home. In 1931 he sold his practice to Dr. M. W. Hunt who has carried on since then.

Dr. Frank Lund was a jolly, fun loving individual but is also remembered by old timers as being a mischievous youngster.

When Nick Lund (the head of the clan), retired from the railroad because of failing health, the family bought the house which then stood on the lot now the site of the Praeuner Oil Co. and which was later moved one block west where it is now the Feyerherm home.
