Tobina Christensen was from Norway. Tobina married a Norwegian fisherman in New York City. They lived in Brooklyn, and he supported the family with a small fishing boat. Tobina became sick with TB and was sent to [[Saranac Lake]] for the [[cure]] in the 1920s. She died of TB, possibly in Saranac Lake, leaving four young children to be raised in the Norwegian Children's Home in Brooklyn. They would visit their father on the weekends on his fishing boat.
