Misc. Notes
Speculation: “Orline” may be a variation on her grandmother’s Norwegian name, “Oline.”
Orline's early life in Webster, South Dakota, was brief, as the family relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota, about 1901-1903. This included Orline's older half sister, Mellicent Grace Hull. Her younger sister, Adella Irene, was born soon after. In Minneapolis, Orline attended South High School, graduating in the class of 1918, as an honor student in Modern Language. After graduation, she taught school somewhere, though no specifics of that are known. As of 1921, she had obtained employment as a clerk with the Retail Hardware Mutual Fire Insurance Co. And it was as a result of this that she met her future husband, Clinton James Christopher. The two were married, June 14, 1922, in Minneapolis. She was active in the community, which included being secretary of the Women's Club of the Country Club District, Edina, Minnesota (1934-35) and President of the PTA for the 1936-37 school term at Edina Morningside school. For a time, a friend of hers got her a job at Burma Shave.
