A mentor as well as a teacher, Hutchinson has been teaching music to kids ages 10 and up since 1993. He says one of his big goals for his students is “getting them out to perform.”

“I have kids who have kids now,” he says. “I can relate to kids real well — I build a really good rapport with them.”

One of his students, Tayler Paige Devall, 17, of Detroit Lakes, recently won an award for best singer/songwriter from the Fargo organization called Celebration of Women and their Music. Other young promising Detroit Lakes songwriters include Sadie Jesness and Sierra Branson, Hutchinson says. He has also recorded a CD for Jacob Woody of Lake Park, whose style is classic country, even though Woody is not his student.

Having an old-style recording studio in his garage complements Hutchinson’s lessons, he says: “It’s fun for my students to hear themselves (professionally recorded) — where else can they do that?”

He tells his students that most musicians don’t make the big time, but it’s still a great lifelong hobby.

“It’s better than softball or bowling — you get paid for it,” he says with a laugh. “But it’s not a money-making deal unless you do it all the time… I’ve never made a living (off performing). I play because I love music.”

Swedish immigrant Tillie Anderson Shoberg, who resided in Becker County from 1924 until her death in 1965, was the world champion of women’s bicycling from 1897 until her retirement in 1902. Submitted Photos

Shoberg, seen here in one of her racing sweaters, won a variety of medals during her bicycle racing career.

Woman on the move Becker County’s Tillie Anderson Shoberg was a 7-time world champ in women’s bike racing STORY: VICKI GERDES

T

oday, women in the world of bicycle racing are something the world takes for granted — but there was a time the so-called fairer sex was deemed “too delicate” and the sport “too dangerous” for their supposed fragile constitutions.

Perhaps no one made a greater contribution to the acknowledgment of women as serious competitors in bike racing than longtime Becker County resident Tillie Anderson Shoberg. Shoberg was known as the “female bicycling champion of the world” from 1897 to 1902, and this PAGE 12 | GENERATIONS FALL 2018

fall she’s the subject of an exhibit at the Becker County Museum.

Born in Skane, Sweden on April 23, 1875, Shoberg was the fourth of five siblings — and her reputation for having a strong will and perseverance began early. After her father died when she was eight years old, Shoberg began working for a neighboring farmer during haying and harvesting season to help support her mother, brother and three sisters.

In 1891, Shoberg and her brother August emigrated to America,

joining their older sister Hanna in Chicago. The rest of the family came to America the following year.

Shoberg found work as a seamstress in a tailor’s shop, and in two years she had saved enough money for a bicycle.

During the summer of 1895, she took part in a race over the ElginAurora (Illinois) century course, and broke the century record. She later traveled around the U.S. as part of a racing circuit that included sixday races for women. According to Shoberg’s great niece, Alice Roepke,

Over the course of her eight-year racing career, Shoberg held records for practically every distance, from sprint to endurance. She once rode half a mile in 49.25 seconds, and on another occasion, rode 100 miles in six hours, 52 minutes and 15 seconds.

She reportedly entered 130 races in her career, and was first over the finish mark in all but seven of them.

“It was because a woman — who was not a professional racer — had crashed and died from a fall off a bicycle,” says Emily Buermann, programming director for the Becker County Museum, who has conducted some research on Shoberg.

Women were thus deemed “too delicate” for the sport, though the fact that the racers wore skin-tight clothing that showed off their form — considered quite scandalous at the time — might also have had something to do with it, says Roepke.

Not only that, but “the women racers were drawing big crowds and becoming very successful. The men didn’t like it.”

In December of 1897, at the height of her career, Shoberg married her trainer and manager, J.P. “Phil” Shoberg, himself a former racer who had given up his cycling career to manage hers. Race managers of that time trained their athletes, found sponsors to pay expenses, scheduled races and didn’t let go at the starting line until they had given their cyclist the strongest push they could muster.

Unfortunately, Shoberg’s husband developed tuberculosis shortly after their marriage, and died in 1902. Widowed at age 26, she never remarried.

Shoberg was just 20 years old when the League of American Wheelmen (the national professional bicycle racing organization of that LEAVING A LEGACY era) recognized her as the best

“She (Shoberg) built a cabin out on Island Lake in 1924 — I believe it’s the oldest building still on the lake,” says Roepke, adding that, “Even though it had been 22 years since she stopped racing, she kept a collection from her career that included a little bit of everything.”

Shoberg’s collection was intended to help recreate the era of women’s bicycling in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Roepke says: “She brought that collection to the cabin on Island Lake back in the 1920s, and it’s been there ever since.”

died, Roepke has become very involved in curating the newspaper clippings, bicycling gear and other memorabilia of her great aunt’s racing career. She says interest in Shoberg has continued on and off through the years, but really picked up in the 2000s.

Shoberg was the subject of a 2011 children’s book, “Tillie the Terrible Swede,” by Sue Stauffacher, as well as the soon-to-be-published “Women on the Move: The Forgotten Era of Women’s Bicycle Racing,” by Roger Gilles, scheduled for release by the University of Nebraska Press in October 2018. And more may be coming.

“I’m working with five different authors around the world right now, on stories about Tillie and the women who competed with her,” Roepke

says. “We’re pretty excited about that.”

The Becker County Museum exhibit is part of the Smithsonian Institute’s annual Museum Day initiative at museums across the U.S.

“The theme for this year’s Museum Day is ‘Phenomenal Women in History,’” says Buermann. “So we decided to feature a phenomenal woman in Becker County history that most people don’t know that much about.”

hey haven’t had a “stick house” in six years.

Alan and Shannon Jones decided a long time ago that a life on the road was the life for them.

Soon after they retired, they sold their home in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, packed what little was left of their belongings into their new RV, and headed down the highway.

“We set out in the fall of 2012 and haven’t turned back since,” says Alan.

The couple has seen a lot of countryside since then. They’ve traveled to Texas, Oregon, South Carolina, Arizona and many other U.S. states, as well as parts of Canada.

PAGE 18 | GENERATIONS FALL 2018

They’ve taken several purely recreational RV trips, but usually they do something more charitable with their time—volunteer. The Joneses are regular Resident Volunteers at federal and state parks, forests and wildlife refuges all over the country.

Resident Volunteer gigs typically last three to four months and entail a dedicated number of volunteer hours per week, in exchange for a free RV “camping” spot at whichever scenic and secluded parkland the gig is at.

For example, Alan and Shannon are currently stationed at Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge, where they’re helping with maintenance projects and at the Visitor’s Center

address. For mail and licensing purposes, the Joneses have set up a “personal residency” in South Dakota, a state that Shannon says is a popular choice for RVers because it charges no personal income tax. They have South Dakota license plates on their vehicles, and their mail is forwarded to them through a mail service, when they request it.

Despite the frustrations that inevitably go with full-time travel, the Joneses wouldn’t trade it for a conventional retirement. They look back on their experiences on the road with fondness. They’ve met wonderful people, seen beautiful countryside, breathed in the fresh air, and made lasting memories.

Traveling and volunteering have enriched their lives, but after several years of seeing the world, the Joneses are beginning to feel like their time as Rvers might be winding down. They have at least one more Resident Volunteer gig ahead of them after they leave Tamarac at the end of August, but they’re not sure how many more gigs they’ll take on after that.

Ultimately, Alan and Shannon say, they plan to “land” in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They won’t buy another “stick house” again—instead, they’ll reside in a senior complex or rent an apartment.

“We’ve been doing this long enough and seen enough places that we’re thinking about going to the next phase, of stopping and settling down again,” Alan says.

“Of course, when we decide to stop doing this, we’ll have to get more stuff again,” Shannon adds with a laugh. “It’ll be like starting over.

But it should be fun.”

The Joneses adopted a nomadic life on the road after retirement. They’ve visited multiple states, but they say their favorites are in the Southwest.

Despite living in Minnesota for decades, they now prefer desert areas. File photo

R

etired school teacher Mary Erickson is a local history buff. She has been archiving Cormorant Township homesteaders and digging up information about the area’s history for quite some time.

Erickson spends a good chunk of her days at the Cormorant Community Center, a place she is forever PAGE 24 | GENERATIONS FALL 2018

STORY AND PHOTOS: EMILY DRISCOLL connected to. The community center used to be a schoolhouse where she taught for about two years back in the 1950s. Even then, the building served the people of Cormorant in multiple ways.

“This has been a community center for as long as I remember, because it was too far to go anywhere

else,” Erickson recalls. “We’re really proud of it.”

Built in 1905, the building stopped operating as a school in 1965. Today, lady slippers bloom outside and light floods into the building’s inviting gathering room.

Some parts still resemble a school.

There are chalkboards, portraits

Mary Erickson shows the Library Link room (facing page) in the Cormorant Community Center. The room contains a few antique school desks and old classroom decor. The retired teacher’s former desk sits in the corner. Original portraits from the old country school (right) in Cormorant Township still hang in the building today.

There have been several changes and additions to the building over the past few decades, including an additional event space, computer room, Library Link site, exercise

facility and more. The event space is available to rent, while the other facilities are free to the public.

The desk that Erickson once used while teaching at the school now sits in the building’s basement, next to a display of her old encyclopedias, archiving materials and scrapbooks.

There are other relics from the

schoolhouse around, too, such as gas lamps that were used before the days of electricity.

Throughout her teaching career, Erickson worked at the Cormorant school, in District 110, Lake Park, and also in Pelican Rapids for 10 years. She fondly remembers her days of teaching, and says her GENERATIONS FALL 2018 | PAGE 25

students rarely misbehaved.

“One of the common questions parents asked was, ‘Did so-and-so behave?’ Because if they behaved, then they’ve learned,” Erickson says.

Country schools were small, and grades one through eight were all held in a single classroom. The teacher was the only adult on site.

“It was very interesting,” Erickson remembers. “We had no playground people, so when they (the kids) were outside playing, I was out there playing with them. One day one of my little boys hung on a branch and fell down and split his head open on a rock. I brought him in and cleared the blood and cleaned him up.”

At the time, there were no phones, so Erickson had to send someone to locate the boy’s mom to ask whether or not he should be seen by a doctor.

“You were a nurse, mother,

Her hope is everything,” Erickson says. to eventually publish a book on

She recalls school Christmas programs and activities as some of the great delights of teaching. One year, for example, her students wanted a toboggan for Christmas, so she decided to host a basket social to raise the funds to buy one. The kids were “very thrilled” to receive it, she says.

Erickson retired early at age 50 due to some health problems.

She’s now 86 and occupies her time studying the history of Cormorant, motivated by her fascination with the township’s earliest families as well as her own personal connection to the area.

“I’ve been doing histories of a lot of the early settlers in Cormorant Township,” she explains. “The people

Cormorant Township’s history, but that’s still a work in progress.

Some of the photos she’s dug up in her studies, however, are already featured in a book — Becker County Museum’s Research Director, Jenn Johnson, recently published a book on local country schools, called “Remembering Country Schools: Memories of Becker County Rural Schools.” The book is available for purchase in the museum’s gift shop.
