The 80-year life of Ronald Jerome Nesvig, the fourth child of ten, to Jerome B. Nesvig and Ruby (Rensland) Nesvig, began and ended in rural Buxton. Ron was born June 28, 1941, and was a 1959 graduate from Climax Public High School, Climax, MN where he played high school sports. He later joined the army and was stationed in Munich, Germany. Ron’s professions followed his variety of interests, including gold miner, truck driver, bar/resort owner, and finally owning his own trucking company. Ron retired in rural Buxton to live near his mother and brothers. He enjoyed gardening, landscaping, woodworking, and staying on top of current events. He was a voracious reader and was known for his strong opinions – which he shared openly and often with others in his deep, gravelly voice. While he really knew how to get someone’s goat, Ron was very kind and gentle. He held a tremendous soft spot for his family and his pets. Those who knew him best know that he went overboard with just about anything and everything. Characterized as a bit stubborn, he was proud of his Norwegian heritage. Many of Ron’s happiest times were spent with his three stepchildren Carla, John, and Carrie. He took great pride in making sure they did well in school when they were young, especially in reading and math, as those subjects he professed to have struggled with as a child. Ron passed away quietly on September 19, 2021, with his brother Ken and sister-in-law Kate by his side. Ron is survived by his stepdaughter, Carrie (Greg) Sparks and his two granddaughters, Lauren and Stephanie of Madison, WI, and seven siblings: Winnifred Olson, Deer River, MN; Leslie Nesvig, Lamoure, ND; Steven Nesvig, Buxton, ND; Michael Nesvig, Fargo, ND; Kendall Nesvig, Buxton, ND; Kimberly Nesvig, Park Rapids, MN; and Sharon Nesvig, Tallahassee, FL; and numerous nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind his long-time and much-loved canine companion, Buddy. He was preceded in death by his stepdaughter Carla, stepson John, brothers Samson Nesvig and Jeffrey Nesvig, his parents, Jerome and Ruby Nesvig, and his cherished yellow lab, Jake. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

The 87-94 Household Exam for Hösen of Frappnäs shows that Märta (and her husband since they were married in April, June, July, August, or September - dates vary and are unclear) left for Frösö on October 7, 1885. At the time of the 1890 Swedish census, Nils, Märta, Johannes, and Karin Götilda were living in Stensgården in the parish of Frösö, county of Jämtland. They were still there at the time of the 1900 Swedish census but with three additional children. There is no mention of “Valgren” in the Swedish census reports; that must have been adopted in the U.S.

He and his family arrived in Philadelphia in April of 1911, aboard the S.S. Friesland which had sailed from Liverpool on April 5th. The family consisted of Niels Johansson, 51, Maria K., 31, Julia, 15, Niels R., 11, and Jenni E., 11 months. They had come from Frösä, Sweden, and were bound for Amery, Wisconsin. The senior Niels’s closest relative in Sweden was his brother-in-law, Sachanea Estenson of Vala.

Shown as Nels Valgrin in the 1920 census and was still not a citizen.. He and his family were living in Balsam Lake Township, Polk County, Wisconsin. Harold, Carl, and Nels were still at home. From this, we can infer: Although Nils was married to Marta Jonsson (Jonas’s half-sister), with whom he had five children, Marta died in 1909. Shortly thereafter, by 1910 or 1911, Nils married a much younger woman than he (by 21 years) named Marie. They came to the U.S. in 1911 with their baby daughter Lizzie and also, apparently, with two of Nils's children by Marta: Robert and Julia. By 1920, neither Robert nor Julia was living with Nils. Also by 1920, Nils, Marie, and Lizzie were still listed as non-citizens. But, by 1920, Nils and Marie had had 3 more children in Wisconsin: Harold, Carl, and Nils.

Shown as Nels Volgren in the 1930 census. He and his family were still living in Balsam Lake.

Nils was living in a nursing home in Balsam Lake in the spring of 1954.
