My name is Catherine Muldown. My grandmother Anna Erickson Muldiwn might have been a relative of Boots. When I was very young we visited Wolf Point and I remember spending a day on a wheat farm owned by the Ericksons. I am now 87 and a retired teacher in Springfield, IL. My condolences for your loss.
