Other First Name: Anders Jenson

Could not find him and his family in the 1880 census despite a person-by-person search of Norwegian Grove, Trondhjem, Prairie View, and Rothsay townships. There was an Anders Jensen or Jansen with wife Marie of the right age late in the Trondhjem pages but they had no children.

Anders and family lived on a farm that he owned, with a mortgage, in Trondhjem Twp, Otter Tail County, in the 1900 census. Anders had come to the U.S. in 1868. (That is also the immigration date shown in the 1910 census.)

A history of Anders from his obit:

He came to the U.S. in 1867 and settled in Decorah, Iowa, for 2 years. He left in a covered wagon and “landed” in Trondhjeim Twp, Otter Tail County, in June, 1871, where he and his father each took 160 acre homesteads in Section 29. They lived in dugouts for three years until Anders built a “good-sized log house” on his place. His parents lived in that house until their deaths. Anders lived on the farm until 1914 when he moved to Pelican Rapids to live with his daughter, Mabel Fredrickson. Anders had been blind for three years when he died.

Anders married Johanna Marie Petersdatter MITBO on 9 Jul 1875 in South Immanuel Lutheran Church, Rothsay, Otter Tail County, Minnesota. Johanna (daughter of Petter Anton Christianson MITBO and Kristine JOHANNESDATTER) was born on 3 Jun 1856 in Østre Toten, Oppland, Norway; died on 21 Oct 1907 in Rothsay, Otter Tail County, Minnesota; was buried in South Immanuel Lutheran Church, Rothsay, Otter Tail County, Minnesota.
