John Oscar Nordenstrom brought his family from the area of Jamptland, Sweden and settled on a farm in the Mora, Minnesota area in 1889. He was a plaster/stucco man. He was known for his talent as a great fiddle player and was honored to perform a concert for the King of Sweden prior to coming to America. John Bernard (JB) Nordenstrom lived on several farms in the area before settling in the village of Mora in the home in which he spent his retirement years. He was a plaster/stucco man and branched into his own general construction business. He was an excellent (self taught) fiddle player and in his retirement years he was well known for his raspberry garden and spent many hours entertaining his grandchildren with his fiddle playing. Bernard Willard Nordenstrom and his family lived in the Mora area all his life. He was a B-24 Pilot in world war II and flew many missions over Germany. Bernard specialized in Concrete and Masonry and formed his own Construction Company in 1957. He and his wife Maree operated the company until their Sons David and Bernard John (BJ) assumed full operations. At that time Bernard and Maree began to winter in Arizona.
