Earl Bartholome (1913-2002) & Ken Bartholomew (1920-
Siblings Inducted into Halls of Fame in Two Different Sports
Two brothers born in North Dakota were enshrined into major sports hall of fames in two different sports. Earl Barholome played professional hockey from 1933 to 1952. His brother, Ken Bartholomew, was considered one of the best speed skaters in the world. He was at his prime in the early 1940s and would have been a likely Olympic medal winner in 1940 and 1944 if World War II had not caused the cancellation of those games. In 1948, he won a silver medal in speed skating, becoming the first person born in North Dakota to win an Olympic medal.
