Remembering our Ten Mile Lake Friends...2000Joan E. HornJoan E. Horn, 57, of Waunakee, Wisconsin died December 30, 2000 at her winter home in Yuma, Arizona, after a courageous year-long battle with cancer. She was born in Madison, Wisconsin on August 13, 1943 to John and Amy Wichman. She married Richard A. Horn on April 6, 1963 and resided in the Madison area until 1991. At that time she and her husband built a home on the east shore of Ten mile Lake. While Richard finished building their home, Joni worked for Johnson's Clothing in Walker. They loved living on Ten Mile Lake, but the call of their two granddaughters in Madison took them back to the Madison area in 1998. Mrs. Horn is survived by her husband Richard; two sons, Todd (Heather) of Madison and Daniel (Carrie) of Baxter, MN.; and three granddaughters, Rebecca, Meghan, and Claire Joan. She is also survived by one sister, Jeannine Woodward of Wyoming, and one brother Rick Kvalheim of California. Memorial services were planned for both Yuma and Madison. Estrid E. BrownEstrid E. Brown of Bloomington, Minnesota, died on November 22, 2000 of natural causes, at the Friendship Village Lifecare Facility in Bloomington, at the age of 97. She had been for 74 years a summer resident and vacationer on Ten Mile Lake. Estrid was born September 23, 1903 in Beaver Falls, PA to Victor and Ida (Carlson) Johnson. Following the death of her father in an industrial accident she moved with her mother and brother to be near her mother's brothers and sisters. She graduated from South High School in Minneapolis. Estrid loved the out-of-doors and was skilled at canoeing, fishing, swimming, and ice skating. She and a friend owned a birch bark canoe which they kept on the Mississippi River under the Franklin Avenue Bridge, where, in those days, it was safe. Her ice skating abilities were noticed by Oscar Johnson, of Shipstead and Johnson fame, who asked her to join the Ice Follies, but her stern Swedish mother believed that was not a proper place for a young lady and refused to allow her to sign a contract with the Follies. In the 1920's, Estrid worked at the Loose Wild Biscuit Company in Minneapolis (later named the Sunshine Biscuit Company) where she met Ralph H. Brown. They were married in 1926 and spent part of their honeymoon camping on the east shore of Long Bay on Ten Mile Lake, on property owned by Henry and May Hoban (aunt and uncle to Dorothy Beasley). From 1927 to 1951, Estrid and Ralph, later with their two sons, were summer vacationers at Hustle Inn (later, Happiness Lodge and now Happiness Resort.) In 1952 they bought the Hoban property where they had spent their honeymoon. Ralph died in 1985 and Estrid sold the property in 1986. During the last fourteen years she has been an occasional visitor at the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Don and Margaret Brown, on Ten Mile Lake. Estrid is survived by two sons, Donald (Margaret) of Ten Mile Lake and Robert (Barbara) of Brooklyn Center, MN; three grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Graveside services were held November 27, 2000 at Lakeside Cemetery in Minneapolis, with the Reverend Grady St. Dennis, Mount Olivet Lutheran Church, MN, officiating.
