NELS IVERSON CALLED TO HIS MAKER, FRIDAY
Was First Settler in Martin Township; The First Home Was A Sod Cellar: Saw Many Hardships.
The Angel of Death made another visit to our community last week when it took from our midst, one of the earliest settlers in Martin Township, namely, Mr. Nels Iverson, who passed away on Friday afternoon, December 24th, at 2:45, at the advanced age of 81 years, 7 months, 26 days.
Mr. Iverson was born in Vang, Valders, Norway, April 28th 1846.He received common schooling in his native country and reaching manhood came alone to seek his fortune. After living for three years at Decorah, Iowa, he came to Minnesota, and worked for a time on a farm in Freeborn County.
To Mr. Iverson belongs the honor of being the first settler in Martin Township, coming here with his wife whose maiden name was Miss Rangde Olson Ellingboe and to whom he was united in marriage at St. Ansgar, Iowa, on July 16, 1868.
Mrs. Iverson made her home with John and Ole Steen for two weeks while her husband was building their first home in the west, a sod cellar. At the completion of the job the new home was given a real housewarming, as Mrs. Iverson came and moved in, and the same day Goodman Anderson, John Nelson, John Goldberg and Peter Skyberg came and spent the night with them.
This old homestead was filed on by Mr. Iverson on October 14, 1871, and the sod cellar was built in the spring of 1872.
This family was blest with twelve children, five preceding him in death.
The surviving children are Iver, Anna Jensen, Ole N. Mrs. John Larson, Mrs. Peter Severtson, Rudolph, and Mrs. Iver Wangeness, who together with their mother are left to mourn.
The direct cause of Mr. Iverson's death was a paralytic stroke, and old age, suffering his first stroke on December 13th.
Funeral services were held from the home at 1:00 on Tuesday afternoon and at Bethlehem Church at 2:00 O’clock, The Rev. Theo. Rodsater preaching both in the Norwegian and English languages. There was a big attendance of friends from far and near who had come to pay their last respects to one of our earliest settlers.
The Hills Glee club consisting of R. A. Johnson, J. M. Johnson, Andrew Rogness, Olaf Hagen, George Qualley, Arthur Rortvet, and Mrs. Olaf Hagen at the piano sang a beautiful song.
Grandpa Iverson was carried to his last resting place by six grandsons, Kenneth Iverson, Eugene Iverson, Lawrence Iverson, Earnest Iverson, Nels Jensen, and Arthur Anderson.
All the children were present at the funeral and relatives from a distance Mrs. Earls Charles of Omaha.
"Mr. Nels Iverson was an influential, good and kind man, and had held several offices of trust in the community, and will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know him."

From "THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND PIPESTONE COUNTIES", by Arthur P. Rose, published 1911, courtesy of Katherine:

NELS IVERSON (1846 - 1926) is one of Rock County's pioneers who suffered in the adverse times of the grasshopper scourge and other dire calamities of the early days, but he never lost hop and today enjoys the reward of persevering toil and has had many seasons of bountiful harvest.

He was born in Vang, Valders, Norway on April 28, 1845. His parents, Iver Olson and Anna (Myre) Sondral, were small farmers in the land of the Norse.

Mr. Iverson was educated in the common schools of his native country and in the first year of his manhood came alone to seek his fortune in the new world. A three years' residence in Decorah, Iowa was broken by an eight months' sojourn in the pineries of Wisconsin. He next came to Minnesota, the scene of his subsequent activities. He worked at farm labor in Freeborn County, was married there, and in 1871 joined the vanguard of Martin Township pioneers. He took as a homestead claim the southwest quarter of section 27, which has been his home from that day to this. Mr. Iverson was a faithful member of the township board for fourteen years and was a director of school district No. 6 for three years. He is a stockholder in the Farmers Mercantile Company of Hills, and in the co-operative creamery at that point. With his family he is a member of the Synod Norwegian Lutheran Church.

At St. Ansgar, Iowa, on July 16, 1868 Nels Iverson was married to Rangde Olson Ellingbo. She was born November 4, 1849, and is the daughter of Ole and Engebor (Anderson) Ellingbo, both deceased. To this union were born twelve children, including two pair of twins, and of the family seven are still living.

Jim’s notes: I følge utflyttede fra Valdres reiste han fra Vang 29 Februar 1848, altså en av de aller første som dro til Amerika, men Frøholm sier han reiste i 1853. Det kan være da han kom til Renville.

In the 1880 census, he, as John J. Soine, lived in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota.

Greg Fearon calls him Jon Johan Johnsen Soine. Greg’s notes: Jon Johan was born to the union of John Persson Kvale and Anna Sjugursdatter Lajord on November 23, 1826 in Berget at Lajord, Vang, Valdres, Norway. After the death of his father, his mother married Christopher Larson Heen in 1828, and he had five brothers and sisters. He left the family just after turning 21 in 1847. He traveled to Bergen early in 1848, and sailed on the Statsrsad Vogt to New York, arriving there on July 3, 1848. He made his way to Minnesota, where spent the rest of his life farming.

Jon Johan died on November 14, 1888 in Renville City, Renville County, Minnesota. While Jon Johan signed his name "Soine" on the passenger list in 1848, the earliest use of it for others is in the photo taken on the family farm in 1915, and in the listings for Ole and Sigri Soine in the 1910 Census.

Notes:

Traci’s tree refers to him as Lars Kristofferson Soine.

“Alias Lars Christopherson.” That’s what he was called in the 1880 census.

In the 1885 state census, he was Lars O. Støine of Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County. The household consists of Lars, 55, Anna, 57, Tom, 24, Gertrude, 19, Berit, 16, Christina, 9, Martha 7, “T.A.”, 25, Anna Austin, 27, Mabel A., 3, and Anna Maria, 20. From this and other information we can infer that “Anna Austin” is Lars’s oldest daughter, T.A. is her husband, Tom Austinson, and Mabel A. is Maybel Amanda Ellingboe.

As Lars Christopherson Soine, he is listed as one of the initial contributors to the start-up of St. Olaf College.

He was a farmer in Warsaw Twp in 1870.

in the 1900 census, Lars, Anna, and their single daughter Christina were living in Warsaw, Goodhue County, next door to their son and brother, Thomas Soine and his family. Lars is shown to have come to this country in 1853, Anna in 1856.

In the 1910 census, Lars and Anne are living with their son Tom and his family on Tom’s farm in Warsaw.

He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books) but his entry specifically says he was not a member of the Samband.

Shown as Lars A. on his death certificate.

From one of Lars’s descendants: "Lars Christophersen Soine was born on 14 June 1830 in Vang, Valdres Norway. He came to America with his parents in 1853, he was 23 years old. He went by the name Lars O Christophersen. He worked in the logging camps in Wisconsin. He rode the logs down the river to keep them from jumbling. Several times he was thrown, by the force of the swift current and the jerking logs, into the water. In 1856 he married Anna Ellestad. Three of their nine children were born in Wisconsin. In the early 1860's Lars and Anna went moved to Goodhue County in Minnesota where they rented a farm for a few years. Then they purchased 160 acres in Warsaw township in Goodhue County. At this time he returned to using the name Lars Soine. Lars and Anna lived in a small house on their land until 1884 when they built a 12 room house for two families. He planned this house for two families so that he would have a place of his own in their old age. Lars and Anna lived in four rooms, tworooms downstairs (12x14 and 14x16) and two rooms upstairs. Their son, Thomas, and his family of 12 lived in seven of the rooms, four big rooms downstairs and three upstairs. The room above the kitchen was used as a store room for both families. Both families used the same stairs and hallway to the second floor.Each family had their own cellar and stairs. The pump was on the porch between the two kitchens. (Don't you think many oldfolks would love this arrangement nowadays instead of the old folks home?) (Denne ideen hare nok Lars hatt med segfra Vang, han har nok tenkt på kårstuene der, da han bygde detstore huset.) These two families lived in Harmony for 24½ years. In 1916 Anna and Lars celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Anna died that fall at the age of 83 and Lars died the following April, 1917." (This is a transcript of a handwritten remembrance of one of Lars O Soine's grandchildren). Lars was a 'charter member' of the 'Valdres Laget' of Goodhue county.

Lars married Anna Tomasdatter ELLESTAD about 1856. Anna (daughter of Tomas Knudson TØRSTAD and Berit Johannesdatter ELLESTAD) was born on 4 Sep 1833 in Lomen, Vestre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 6 Nov 1916 in Goodhue County, Minnesota; was buried in Vang Lutheran Church Cemetery, Dennison, Goodhue County, Minnesota.

He came to America with his family in 1853. He was 12 years old when his parents died. Syver was taken in by an English family, where he learned to speak English, and he eventually forgot Norwegian. He joined the Union Army on August 22, 1862; he was 20 years old. He was in Company D of the 10th Regiment of the Minnesota Volunteers. He fought at Gettysburgh with Gen. Sherman on his march to the sea. Syver enlisted under the name of Chrstopherson. After the war Lars, Syver, and Ole reunited in Goodhue County and there Syver met and married Sonneva Ellingboe in 1867. They had 3 sons. They moved to Wang township in Renville County. Syver was killed by a runaway, while haying in July 1874, and he is buried in a Wang cemetery.

The Union Army was recruiting in Minnesota in the summer of 1862 when Sever Christopherson enlisted as a private in the 10th Minn. Volunteers from Warsaw, Rice Co. The Regiment, under Col. James H. Baker, had orders to travel to New York and then to the Gulf via steamer; but before recruitment was complete the Sioux Indians in western Minnesota began misbehaving and the Regiment was sent to bolster other troops fighting around New Um, Nicollet Co. The captured Indians were sent to Mankato army post where they were courtmartialed and executed in February of 1863.

The winter of 1862/1863, the Regiment spent doing guard duty on the frontier, building stockades, and training. In camp at Henderson until February when they were ordered to Mankato to participate in the execution of the Sioux Indians.

In the summer of 1863, the 10th Minn., and other regiments took the offensive against the Indians, beat them up, and chased them across the Missouri River. On both campaigns Sever marched through the area where he would later homestead (in Renville County), but which was an Indian land in 1863 and 1863.

On the 18th of September 1863, orders arrived at Ft. Snelling, which was the main army post in the Minn. District (old Ft. Snelling is located across the river from Minneapolis and south of St. Paul) for the 10th to report to St. Louis, Mo. And they traveled by boat to Dunleith, by rail to St. Louis. There the Regiment did garrison and provost duty as there were several military prisons for prisoners of war, for "stragglers" (a euphemism for deserters who got caught), 5 forts and many supply warehouses. It was at St. Louis that Col. Phelps resigned and Capt. C.L. Davis took command of Co. D.

On April 22, 1864, the 10th Minn. left for Columbus, Kentucky, and on June 19, 1864 they were sent to Memphis, Tenn. On July 13, 1864 the Rebels attacked them at Tupelo Hill, under Gen. Bedford Forrest who was protecting Gen. Hood's withdrawal. Gen. Forrest withdrew in an orderly fashion and the 10th pressed after him. Through the fall, the unit had several skirmishes in pursuit and harassment of the Rebels.

On Dec. 15 and 16, 1864, the 10th and other units assaulted Gen. Hood's earthworks and the last battle of Nashville ensued. After taking casualties, the 10th succeeded in driving out an exhausted Confederate Army. The 10th had the task of pressing on Hood's rear, which sent them up against their old foe, Gen. Bedford Forrest. The 10th pushed on to Mobile Bay participating in the battle at Spanish Fort.

The war was over and the 10th returned to Ft. Snelling via river steamer and were formally mustered out of the Union Army on August 19, 1865.

That's what Sever's unit was doing from 1862 to 1865, but what Sever was doing is another matter. His war records show that he was present at all of the Indian Wars, and that he went south from Ft. Snelling to St. Louis. However, his records show that in May of 1864 he was in the Post Hospital in Columbus, Ky. because of sickness, not specified. Half the the casualties in the Civil War died of illnesses such as typhoid smallpox, dysentery, and just plain old pneumonia. His records say he was ill through the fall of 1864/1865, and that he was forwarded to Ft. Snelling the middle of Aug. 1864 and was ill until Oct. 20th when he resumed his duties at Ft. Snelling.

His papers say that Sever was 20 years old when he enlisted, that he was 5 ft, 9 inches, his eyes- gray, his hair and complexion -light. Sever Christopherson appears on the official roster of Company D.

Sigurd married Synneva Trondsdotter ELLINGBØE on 6 Jul 1867 in Goodhue County, Minnesota.

Notes:

In the Vang churchbook, his baptism was listed right before that of Ole Aslaksson (#3068).

In the 1885 state census, as Ole C. Soine, he and his family live in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota, next to the Tron Ellingboe farm. The household consists of Ole, 40, Gjertru F., 35, Anne, 16, Berit, 14, Christoffer, 12, Torger, 9, Marit, 6, Gjerdena, 4, and Sigrid, 2. Living with the family is 22 year-old Knut K. Soine and another 25 year-old farm helper, also born in Norway.

Oct 1880), are shown as a separate household entered next on the census form.

In the 1910 census, he and Sigrid were living in Wang Twp with Christ, Theoline, and Martin.

In the 1920 census, he and Sigrid were living in Wang Twp, probably on the original farm, with Martin and his family. Christ was also living with them.

From the History of the Minnesota Valley, 1882: CHRISTOPHERSON, Ole Christopherson "Soena," was born in September, 1844. in Norway. From the age of nine years until 1857 he lived in Michigan, then in Dane county, Wisconsin until 1860, at which date he removed to Iowa; in 1862 he removed to Goodhue County, Minnesota. The year following enlisted in Company F, 2d cavalry, and served through the remainder of the war. Married, January 15, 1869, Jane T. Althon; the children are: Anna, Betsey, Christopher, Torger, Mary and Gertdane.

He is I11520 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes:

He was 10 years old when his parents died.

Candice Soine skriver: "Ole hired out to a very rough and unkind woodcutter. If he could not meet the quota for the day, he was not permitted to have supper. When he was 13 years old he cut his finger with an axe while he was chopping wood. It was cut so badly that only a small portion of flesh kept it from falling off. He put the two ends together as best he could, and bandaged the finger with strips of cloth. He did all of the aftercare himself and eventually, the cut healed and his finger remained stiff and crooked, but somewhat useful. Ole went from Michigan to Dane County in Wisconsin and was there from 1857-1869. Then he went to Iowa until 1862 and finally to Goodhue County in Minnesota in 1862. Ole enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 19 on December 12, 1863 and was mustered out on December 2, 1865. On January 15, 1869 Ole married Gertrude (Gjertrud) Elton and they had eight children. Gertrude died 21 September 1885 and Ole remarried in 1886. His second wife was Sigrid Loe Haugen who was a widow with three children. Ole and Sigrid had two children. Ole died on 13 March 1924. He was a naturalized citizen and he owned a farm, but could not speak English in 1900."


Fra "The Lutefisk connection" Vol 3 Winter 1999: A word about Ole Christopherson's service record - We have an interview of Ole Soine by his stepgrandson, Tyler Soine, that places Ole's unit at Gettysburg, but that is not so. Ole's unit, the 2nd Minn. Cavalry, was fighting Sioux Indians until 1866 and was nowhere near Gettysburg.

September 27, 1900
At eleven o’clock a.m. today at the Synod Church, occurs the marriage of Miss Ingebor Iverson, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Nels Iverson to Hans A. Grimsoe, Rev. J.H. Lunde officiating. The event will be witnessed by a large concourse of invited guests and a reception will be given at the home of the bride’s parents immediately after the ceremony, when a bounteous wedding dinner will be served. The bride has been a resident of this township since her childhood and is an accomplished young lady, who numbers her friends by her acquaintances, while the groom is a popular young man with excellent habits, who graduated from Luther Normal School in Sioux Falls last spring and is at present engaged in teaching on the second floor of the Qualley residence opposite the Merchants Hotel. The Cresent joins the many friends of this popular young couple in wishing them a happy and prosperous future.

October 4, 1900
The Grimsoe/Iverson nuptials referred to in our last issue were largely attended and the happy young couple received many costly as well as useful presents, also quite a sum of money. The reception at the bride’s home was a very enjoyable affair and Mr. Grimsoe wishes to thank the Hills Ekko for their part in making the occasion one long to be remembered.

July 30, 1903
Mr. & Mrs. H.A. Grimso of Calmar, IA arrived here last week for a visit with the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nels Iverson.

September 3, 1903
Mr., and Mrs. H.A. Grimso, who have been here on an extended visit, returned home to Calmar, IA Friday morning.

July 18, 1909
H.A. Grimsoe of Calmar, IA has arrived to spend his summer vacation at the home of his father-in-law Nels Iverson. His wife has been here for some time.

Ingeborg married Hans A GRIMSO on 27 Sep 1900 in Rock County, Minnesota. Hans was born about Oct 1871 in Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Howard/Messing family tree identifies Anne as the first white child born in Martin Twp, Rock County, Minnesota.

In the 1900 census she had had 2 children, both still living.

She and her three children were living with her parents in Martin Twp at the time of the 1910 census. She is shown as married for the 2nd time but there is no husband with her. She had only had the three children. Her occupation is shown as dressmaker.

She was Anna Anderson in September of 1903. She was Mrs. Anna Jensen at the time of her father’s death.

In the 1930 census she was single and was living with her daughter Dora and her family in Hills. She was employed as a servant for a private family.

From the Hills Crescent, courtesy of Katherine:

August 16, 1900
G.B. Anderson left Monday morning for the Twin Cities to be absent for some time.
Mrs. G. B. Anderson is at present staying with her parents Mr. & Mrs. Nels Iverson, southeast of town.

April 30, 1903
Anna Anderson whose maiden name was Iverson has been granted a decree of divorce from her husband, George B. Anderson. The parties were married at Sioux Falls Nov. 8, 1893 and lived together until Aug. 2, 1900. Two children were born to them. The plaintiff alleged in her complaint that the defendant had threatened to kill her, that he had not contributed toward her support or the support of the children and that the separation had been brought about by his conduct. Personal service of the complaint and summons were had on Anderson at Albert Lea on September 26. Anderson is said to be employed at that place as a bartender. The decree was granted by Judge Brown Saturday and gives the plaintiff custody of the children and puts the costs of the case on the defendant. E.H. Canfield, Esq. represented the plaintiff and the defendant was unrepresented.

September 20, 1903
A deal was closed on Monday where Iver Iverson sold the City Restaurant to his sister Mrs. Anna Anderson who took possession the same day.
Mr. Iverson is undecided as to his plans for the future, but will continue to reside in Hills if he can secure a residence. Mrs. Anderson was formerly connected with the City Restaurant in partnership with her brother Ole Iverson, the business being conducted under the firm name of Anderson & Iverson, and the many patrons of this establishment will be pleased to learn that she is again in charge. Mrs. Anderson will give special attention to the baking of bread, cakes and all kinds of pastry, in which line she needs no recommend. She will also continue to handle the well known Hazelwood ice cream. Board furnished by the day or week at reasonable prices.
We bespeak for the City Restaurant under its new management a liberal and growing patronage.

July 3, 1913
A Large Crowd Helps Mrs. Anna Jensen Celebrate Birthday at Old Home. One of the largest gatherings that has taken place in or around Hills, for many years, occurred at the fine old country home of Mr. & Mrs. Nels Iverson last Sunday afternoon. The occasion for such a large crowd was the 41st birthday of their daughter, Mrs. Anna Jensen.
It was planned to give a surprise party on Mrs. Jensen, and in order to not cause any confusion the “surprisers” met at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ole Iverson and drove or marched in a body to the old Iverson home.
It is estimated that at least 300 friends partook in this event and it seemed that nearly every available space on the big lawn was occupied.
About five o’clock the crowd was treated to a number of selections by the Hills Cornet Band,…
Mrs. Jensen was born on the old homestead in a sod house on June 26, 1872, one week after they had moved into their new home….
Mrs. Jensen… bears the distinction of being the first white child born in Martin Township that is living today…
About seven o’clock the company dispersed feeling that they had spent a most enjoyable day.

In the 1930 census, she, as Anna Jensen, is single and is living with her daughter Dora and family in Hills.

Anna married George B ANDERSON on 8 Nov 1893 in Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County, South Dakota, and was divorced in Apr 1903. George was born in Oct 1870 in Iowa; died on 28 Nov 1913 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Peter Kvale, who is in charge of the Emmons Creamery, was born on his father's farm in Nunda, May 7, 1880, the son of Thoud and Ingra Kvale, who were among the early pioneers of Freeborn county. He attended the country schools, and always having a strong inclination to books and study, he did well in his school work. After he had completed the common school, he worked at home with his father till he was twenty-one years of age, and then went to the Minnesota University, where he took a full course in dairying. Having completed this course he was offered and accepted a position with the Clover Valley Creamery of Pickerel Lake, where he remained in charge four years. The Emmons Creamery was formerly in charge of an especially good man who was ambitious, and with the enthusiastic support of the members of the board was enabled to step from there into a very lucrative position in government employe. At this time the board were on the lookout for another man equally good, and decided on the subject of this biography as the man. It was in 1907 that Mr. Kvale came to his present position, and long ago all concerned were of the opinion that he was the right man for the place. Mr. Kvale is a member of the Lutheran Church. He votes with the Republican party. On May 26, 1901, he married Jensena Lah, of Iowa, and to them have been born four children, Ingra, Joseph, Myrtle and Pearl.
