Misc. Notes
Robin was reportedly living in Minneapolis prior to marriage, though he was not listed in the 1900-1902 city directories; he could, however, have been living with his brother, Julius. [2711] A Robert BRINSTAD was listed in the 1900 directory, shown as being employed at at S. E. Olson Co., the company owned by Robin’s uncle. [2611] (Julius was the only BRINSTAD listed from 1901-1902). Given that the 1900 census lists a Robert BRINSTAD at the same address shown in the directory and whose description is a close match with Robin, it is very likely that Robert is Robin. [2613]

Following the wedding, Robin & Myrtle moved to Seattle, where Robin was a clerk at the Rainier-Grand Hotel (or obtained that position soon after) [2571], [2614], [2702, p.999] By 1905 they had moved to Portland, Oregon. [2579]
In Portland he worked at the Hotel Oregon. An image of a postcard of the hotel is online at:

Misc. Notes
Newspaper announcement of her marriage to Robin describes Myrtle as being from Linwood, Minnesota, which is in Anoka County. [2571]

Her mother was born in Canada (French speaking area - maybe). [2588], [2593]

Married Victor J. PATTERSON as “Mate J. BRINSTAD” rather than “HAGENSEN” [2590]
Resident of Anoka Co., Minnesota, at time of marriage to Victor. [2590]
Research
Possible (but fuzzy) match in California Death Records:
PATTERSON, Mate J., born 06-JUL-1883 North Dakota, mother's maiden name: CARROLL, father's last name: GEPSON; died in Ventura county, 14-JAN-1957. Age 73. No SSN#. (it would appear this entry is essentially correct except for the father’s name and possibly the year of birth).
Marr PlaceMinneapolis, Hennepin Co., Minnesota, United States
ChildrenCornella (ca1904-)
