From a history of Rice County families, published in 1981, via the Dalby Database:

Austin (1885-1970) was the son of Helge and Ingri (Oldre) Kasa.  He was born and raised in Holden Township, Goodhue County, near the Vang Church.  Ida (1895-1975) was the daughter of Even and Inga (Oldre) Remme.  She and Austin were both baptized and confirmed at Vang Lutheran Church which was near their homes.  Ida went to grade school in the Dennison area, but attended high school in Luverne, MN. While going to high school she lived with her father’s parents.  Austin and Ida were married in 1918.  They lived and farmed in the Northfield-Dennison area.  The last farm they lived on was the Orr farm in Section 15 of Northfield Township.  The Kasa’s main farming enterprise was dairy cattle.  Austin especially liked to work with horses.  He often trained horses for himself and also trained horses for other people in the area.  After retiring in the late 1950s, Austin and Ida moved to Northfield.  Mr. Kasa worked at Carleton College as a custodian for a number of years.  He also liked to get out in the country and do some farm work.  The Kasa children were:  Inez (Mrs. William Munckton) of Northfield; Helge Edin, died shortly after his birth; Helen (Mrs. Helen Radtke) of Northfield; Helge Even of rural Dennison; Gladys (Mrs. Ralph Koester) of rural Northfield; Austin Jr., of Cottage Grove; Avis (Mrs. Curtis Reed) of Maribel, WI; Donald of Northfield, died in 1977; Eugene of rural Northfield; Donna (Mrs. Sewell Mathre) of Northfield; and JoAnne (Mrs. Stanley Kucera, Jr.) of Houston, TX.

In the 1920 census, Helge and Ingrid still have Berith, Helge, John, Oscar, and Albert at home, all single. In addition, they have three grandchildren living with them: Freddie (#11119), Herman, and Alice. The last two seem to be Erick’s.
