Susie Anderson operated Susie’s Sewing and Monogramming from her home on Minnesota Avenue for her entire life. She had a uniform shop, made quilts, covered furniture and made draperies.  Her most memorable work was all the monogramming she did on bowling shirts, high school letter jackets, fraternity jackets, Elks shirts and items from the Bemidji Woolen Mills.  One of her monograms, the Fireman’s Prayer Flag, still hangs in the Bemidji Fire Hall.

Arnold died April 5, 1983. Susie died later in Spokane.
