Notes for Maude Lenora Severson: "This document is written by Maude Lenora Severson Gregory, youngest daughter of Bert and Ella Severson in the year of 1983. I was born in 1902, Kingsberry Township, North Preston, South Dakota. About the year 1876, assuming my father was 20, three men, my father, Anvey Nelson and John Nelson came to which was the above address. My father immigrated from Stuvanger, Norway. I am not certain of location except it is in coastal city. Father's father, a well-to-do ship builder. Father left for the United States at the age of 19. Many Scandinavians settled in Newark, Illinois near Chicago. Then a year later joined two men who had taken up claims same as father. President Harrison signed the paper to give these men each 160 acres, $1.00 per acre, land must be farmed and lived on his own place for 5 years. When the land was laid out, father's land was east of the road, Anvey Nelson across the road of the west side and Nels Nelson south a very short distance and up on a hill, although this is prairie country and a hill was only a small rise. Now these three camped here for a while and planted a small cottonwood tree to mark the spot. As years passed, the tree grew tall and straight, many years I knew it well. Father said all there was on his land beside prairie grass was a buffalo wallow. In Newark, Illinois, father met and married mother. She was born March 30, 1863 in Bergen, Norway. Her family were very poor grocery owners. She was 6 as they crossed the great ocean. As I remember, she said it took 6 months to cross over, seems too long, anyway it was rough. They settled in Newark, Illinois. Mother the youngest, Ella Severson, sisters Tobie and Sophia, and brother Severt but I knew all of them. Never saw my grandparents." -- the above was written on Western Baptist Hospital, 2501 Kentucy Ave, Paducah, Kentucky 42001 stationary and signed Maude Gregory |
