Guri Endreson, wife of Lars Endreson, is the woman who saved the settlers during the Sioux uprising of 1862. Not Anderson. After her husband and son were killed, she took baby Anna, who is my husbands grandmother, to Fort Snelling, picking up settlers along the way. She had her injured son, Ole in the wagon driven by oxen. When they arrived at Fort Snelling, her kidnapped daughter met them there after escaping from the Indians. There is a monument in Guri's name and the original log cabin has been donated to the state by the Alvig family. Guri lived with her daughter until her death. The farm and land were divided among the Alvig family. My brother-in-law, Philip Carlson purchased the shares and still lives on the original family farm which had been homesteaded while Grant was President. My mother-in-law Gertrude Alvig Carlson moved to the farm after my father-in-law died with Philip. Her brothers, Peter and Melvin lived on the farm until their deaths. Another sister moved back to the farm after the death of her husband and took care of the bachelor brothers until her death. Priscilla Alvig Sletten also moved back to the family farm after the death of her husband, Harry Sletten. Philip will take visitors to see the log cabin. Most of the visitors are from Norway and he enjoys telling them about the 'heroine', Guri Endreson. One of the cousins, Howard Havill wrote a book entitled 'Big Ember' which tells the story about Guri's heroism. Bev Carlson, wife of Frans Carlson (great grandson of Guri Endreson).
