Notes for Halvor Halvorson VEUM
Digital Records: Birth, Vaccination, Confirmation, Wedding, Emmigration
Halvor and his wife became crofters at Lundshaugen under the farm Lunde from 1863 to 1866 when they emigrated to America.64 Ended up near Wanamingo, Goodhue, MN for several years before moving to Trempealeau, WI. Possibly moved from Goodhue County due to the Indian Wars scare?
From Agnes Dokkestul:
“1866 Halvor, Johanna and Halvor, Jr. left Norway.
They tried to homestead in Goodhue Co., near Wanamingo & Red Wing, MN (reason unknown after living there 4 years). They crossed the Mississippi River to Mondovi area and homesteaded 160 acres. They traveled via a team of oxen and covered wagon.
Per Sylfest built a bridge for them, lived in a dugout (similar to cave) for 2 yrs. which was located near Veum School (Co. Rd. VV). Sena was born in the dugout in 1871. Dr. from Mondovi came by horseback to help with delivery. A loghouse was built in which they lived 9 yrs. A larger house was built nearby as log house had only one room and with 5 children.
They went to school over the hill from Sylfest’s. When Sena and her siblings were older a school was built by Russell Store. This was a 3 mile walk. Pastor Hoyer founded a church “Kongsberg” upon hill by Veum School. Church was sold after only 7 years.”
