Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907. Stanley County One of the first settlers in this county was Iver Monsen who settled at Bad River, not so far from Fort Pierre. The year he came there is not known. But it is known that he recently lost everything he owns in a flood. His house went down the river (Bad River) and became stuck in some trees, where it stayed for two days and a night. The family had to chop a hole through the roof to get out, and the house sank shortly after. This family, that eluded death, consisted of a man, wife and three children. ==== NOR-OPPLAND Mailing List ==== Make sure you check out the other lists available here for Norway: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/NOR/ ============================== Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more.
