From the book - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. Published in 1909:

Christopher T. Lykken was born in Warsaw township on the farm where he now lives, January 15, 1867, son of Torger and Gertrude (Williams) Lykken, natives of Norway. The father came to America in 1854, the mother in 1864. The father located in Wisconsin, where he worked at farming and in the pineries for eight years. In 1862 he came to Minnesota, and settled in Holden township, purchasing eighty acres of wild land, which he broke and improved, carrying on farming until 1867, when he sold this land and bought 160 acres in Warsaw township, which he cleared and built a home and outbuildings, carrying on general farming. In 1884 he added eighty acres, and in 1904 he retired, placing the charge of the farm in the hands of his son. Christopher received his education in the public schools of Warsaw, and attended public school at Northfield for one year, after which he returned to the farm and in 1904 took charge of the old homestead. Since that date he has carried on general farming, stock raising and dairying. Mr. Lykken has four sisters and two brothers: The sisters are: Jennie, married to A. Huseby, of North Dakota; Annie, who is in the millinery business of North Dakota; Mary, married to Christ Haugen, of Warsaw; and Dena, living at home. The brothers are: Anton, who is living at home, and Gilbert, who died in 1902. In politics, Mr. Lykken is a Democrat, being treasurer of school district No. 51, which office he has held for twelve years. He is vice president of the elevator company at Dennison, and is a member of the Norwegian Lutheran church.

From the Budstikken, December 1996:

Was the Valdres Sjugurd Strand America's oldest Hardanger fiddler? A Valdres bygdebok refers to him thus, "When the fiddler, J.O. Quale and Knut Ellingboe visited Sjugurd Strand when he was 100, he played a few tunes." Not many men lived to be a hundred and two generations ago, and still fewer played the hardingfele at that age! So, who was he?

The bygdebok elaborated on him: Sjugurd often played the fiddle in the evening or while resting after work. Quale and Ellingboe heard him play "Teigen" and a springar, "Krosshaugen," which he learned from Ola Strand paa Soyne. Ola was one of the great-est Hardanger fiddlers in his area and, if he was Sjugurd's mentor, the latter may have been a good fiddler, too. Valdres Samband genealogist Betty Rockswold discovered that Ola Strand paa Soyne was married to Sjugurd's cousin.

But Sjugurd was more than a fiddler. The bygdebok continued, "Sjugurd was unusually spry and agile. There is hardly a ceiling in the Øye area which he could not reach with "a stempla rundkast" (a type of halling dance in which the dancer becomes air-borne and kicks the ceiling beams)."

Sjugurd was born in Vang, Valdres, on Oct.25, 1837, and had worked on the Sveji farm south eight summers before he immigrated to the Northfield, Minn., area in 1866, settling on a small farm (possibly in Goodhue County). That same year he married Engeborg Thomasdatter Elton on Oct.25, the birthdays of bride and groom. They had four children while living near Northfield: Thomas, Gilbert, Thomas (the first Thomas died) and Martin. In 1871, the family moved with their ox-drawn wagon to Wang Township, Renville County, Minnesota, where nine more children were born. Four died in infancy.
Torger, Sarah (Mrs. Iver Soine), Ella (Mrs. Olaf Holien), Mary (Mrs. Andres Brekke) and Sever survived childhood diseases.

Sjugurd Strand's name became Americanized to Sever Guttormson Strand, Guttorm being his father's given name. But in Wang Township, he continued to be called Sjugurd Strond, Strond being a dialect form of Strand.

The centenarian enjoyed good health and was active until he fell and injured his hip the year before he died. Until then he carried himself "in a true soldier manner," said one obituary. After his accident, he was confined to bed but was congenial and cheerful.

Except for his injury, he enjoyed good health and at all times had full possession of his faculties. He began using tobacco at age nine, always ate three good meals and two lunches, with coffee each meal.

Sjugurd died March 13, 1939 after a few days of illness. His wife had died January 13, 1937, at age 92.
