Description : Lewis was the 2nd of 10 children born to Johannes M. and Seneva Melstad in rural Kingsbury Cty, SD. They later went by John and Susie Melstad - common for Norwegian immigrants to 'Americanize' their names. Lewis was raised on the family farm and lived with his parents into his 30's, helping with the farm. Lewis' parents were Norwegian immigrants and he was fluent in Norwegian and English.

Lewis married Gjertrude Hatlestad, and together they had four children. Gjertrude's mother divorced Hatlestad and remarried John B. Fjerstad, my grandfather Olai's oldest brother.
