Notes:

He is I11686 in Jim Ellingboe’s Valdres Slekt.

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. He married Ingaborg Ovesdatter Kattevold in the Holden Lutheran Church in Goodhue County in 1862. Their children were: Anne Marie (1865), Ove Julius Johnsen (1867), Emma (1871), Geneva Marguerita (1877), Julia Cecilia (1878), Alfred J. (1882), and Clare Claude (1887). 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.

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.

Apr 1874), and Gulbrand, 20 (b. Dec 1879). Ole’s other children, Torger, 24 (b. Apr 1876), Christ, 26 (b. Apr 1874), and Gertina, 19 (b. 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.

Mother’s name Soine according to death index.

Mary Christine's father James was the son of Helmer Sybilrud and  Almira (Myra) Leonora Tasa. Myra was the daughter of John Tasa and  Christine Soine. John apparently died, perhaps in South Dakota where Myra was born, and Christine later married Erick Kasa in Minnesota. Unfortunately, Christine died in 1914 of tuberculosis. Apparently at  this point Myra went to live with the Kildahls who were either about to move from Northfield or had already moved to St. Paul. (Mrs.  Kildahl was Bertha Soine, sister of Christine.) The 1920 census shows  Myra (as "niece") living with the Kildahls in St. Paul. Myra may have  been adopted by Johan and Bertha Kildahl and/or she may have taken Kildahl as her surname.



According to her death certificate, her father was John Tasa and her mother was Christine Soine. Myra had had 2 years of college and had been a schoolteacher. She died of dehydration and kidney failure complicated by dementia. The informant for her death certificate was Jane Sybilrud of Box 68, Elysian, Minnesota.

Candice Soine writes:

Clarence was born 7 December 1897 in Maynard, Minnesota to Christopher and Betsey Soine. Betsey was very special to him and she taught him the 23rd Psalm. Also, Grandma Loe was very dear to him and took the place of his mother when she died. Clarence worked in his father's general store. He got his first suit for his Confirmation. It was handmade in Minneapolis and it cost $12. Clarence went to school through the 11th grade and was a very successful basketball player.

He saved $1800 and went to Concordia in Fargo-Moorhead. After a few months he received a telegram from his father saying that he should come home because he had used Clarence's money to buy a farm in Rolette, North Dakota. Clarence went to Rolette until the harvest and then went to Seattle by train to stay with his uncle, Hans, who was the general manager of BF Goodrich.

In 1924 Clarence went to Petersburg, Alaska, to work at the Trading Union in men's furnishings for four years. He returned to Yakima and became the assistant manager for Sears, and then was transferred to the Sears in Everett, Washington.

In June of 1933 Clarence bought out a bankrupt shoe store in Bellingham that had no woman's sized shoe over 4 1/2. He owned this family store for 50 years and prided himself on having served a large percentage of Whatcom County with proper fitting shoes.

Clarence married Ciceley Heath in 1931 and they had three children and seven grandchildren. Clarence called her Ciceley, Heath. Clarence and Ciceley traveled all over Europe and 'vacationed' in Hawaii many winters. Toward the end of his life, he was very close to being legally blind.

He died 21 December 1985 of complication from septic shock which destroyed a valve in his heart. He recited the 23rd Psalm from memory before he died and went peacefully in the presence of his wife and children.

Clarence was fascinated with his ancestors. He would tell me stories about his family history as he gave me his world famous foot massage. The only flaw in Clarence was that he loved lutefisk.

Clarence married Cicely HEATH on 26 Dec 1933 in Alberni, British Columbia, Canada. Cicely was born on 28 Apr 1907 in Alberni, British Columbia, Canada; died on 24 Apr 1995 in Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
