Census:
1940 census shows John T. Mattson, 64, b. Finland, farmer; Olga, 61, b. Finland, Norris Mattson, grandson, 12, b. MN.

The grandson Norris Stanley has now become Norris Stanley Mattson. Further research shows he was born June 14, 1927 in St. Paul, the son of Edith. He died 22 May 2012. His obituary names Edith as his mother and her husband Walter Olson his step-father. Edith lived to be 109 years old, she died in 2016, her obituary does not mention him.
In 1930 Edith is living in Minneapolis and working as a maid for a private family. She does not marry until 1933.
