Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Not sure if this was Hilda's great grandmothers gingerbread or just the name of the recipe. If it is it would be most likely maybe her grandmother's recipe. Her name was Olina and is buried in the cemetery just before you go into Peninsula State Park in Ephraim. It is the Lutheran Cemetery. Her husband Even was killed in a logging accident in Ephraim and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Ephraim Moravian Cemetery. They were Lutheran upon arriving in Ephraim but when Even died the Lutherans didn't have a Cemetery yet so he was buried in the Moravian Cemetery.
