Their names are as follows: Gutorm Hansen Modalen, and wife, Kjersti, and children, Else, Lars, Beret, Hans, Kari, Christi, Gunhild-Maria and Anne Christine. The whole family were born Begnedalen, Aurdal South. The daughters in this family married as follows: Else, wife of Michael Olsen Beltestad. He died and she is now the wife of Borger Andersen of Lands parish, Norway. Beret, married Nils Julson, from Aurdal north, who came to Bear Creek in 1862. Kari married Mikkel Molstad of Hadiland, Norway. She died and he then married the sister Anne Christine who at this writing is Mrs. M. Molstad of Spring Valley, Minnesota. Christi married Wegger Torgrimson, both dead. Gunhild Maria married Knud Iverson of Begnedalen, Aurdal South, both dead. In the emigrant group with Modalen came Martha Syversdaughter, now the wife of J. H. J. Weeks; Ragnhild Guliksbraaten, she became the wife of Erland Olsen Skalshaugen, and her sister, Anna Thorina who married Engebret Hovda, both from Ness Odalen, Hans Simonson and wife, Olia, and one son Simon. Hans was a brother of Ole Simonsen. With the Modalen group of emigrants came Erik Suversen Oymoen and wife, Maria, and two children, Ragnhild, who married Halvor Jorgens, and a son Simon. This family came from Aadalen. Erik Eriksen Haugen came with the Modalen family in 1861. In July, 1861, came Engebret Sorben and wife, Kari, and children Ole, Beret and Anton, born Bang, Aurdal South. Beret became the wife of Eilef Jorgens of Reinli, Aurdal So. Knud Knudsen Ostagaarden, the Sr. and Knud the Junior, and two daughters, Inge- borg and Sigri. Ingeborg married a man in La Crosse County. Wis. by name Trond Arnesen Haugen. Sigrid married Arne T. Boen. All of the Ostergaarden family came from Reinlid, Aurdal So. Trond Arneson was from Aurdal North. In this squad of emigrants were Syver Skaran and wife, Marit, of Reinlid, Aurdal So., and children. With them were Anne, wife of Trond Boen and sons Syver and Ole and daughter Beret, wife of Syver M. Hoff, and Dortia, wife of Simon H. Simonson, Jens Brager and wife, Kari and children, Ole and Hans, both dead, and daughter Oliana, wife of Ole Tande, now residents of Northfield, Minn. In this emigrant group was Ole Jorgens of Reinlid, now one of the writers of this sketch. In 1861 the Bear Creek Lutheran Church together with the St. Olaf Parish of Rock Dell, sent a call for a permanent preacher to the state church authorities in Norway, and on this call one L. Steen came recommended by the said church authorities. The St. Olaf Church congregation had in the fall of 1861 a parish residence built and pastor Steen domiciled himself in this parish building. It was agreed between the St. Olaf's parish people and the people of Bear Creek that the preacher of St. Olaf should visit and preach in Bear Creek every seventh Sunday. In conformity with this agreement, Rev. Steen held regular church services in Bear Creek at stated times in the log school house and from the beginning of his administration, records were kept of all ministerial acts and the acts of the church association in connection with church affairs. Before this time no records were written in book form. Some pieces of paper had some notations, but these cannot be found. In 1862 and 1863 came a few individuals and families to Bear Creek and with the recording of these this sketch will close the list of old settlers. In 1862 came Arne T. Boen to Bear Creek from Iowa and Engebret Nelsen Haugerstuen and family, wife Aaste, and the sons Nels, Haldor and Erik and daughter Siri, wife of Syver Hovda. With the Nelson family came John Week, Sr., and wife, Ingeborg, and at that time one child, Johanns, Jr., now a resident of Thief River Falls; and with them came Nils Juelson and Ole Baker, known as hardware Ole Baker of Rochester, Minn.; and Ole Juelsen and wife Ragnhild and one Erick Eriksen, sometimes known as Erik Tveit. His wife was Astri Tveit, and his sisters, Marit, wife of Syver Sorben and Siri, wife of Knud Olson Grondalen of Under- wood, Otttertail County. In 1863 came Jorgen Olsen Hellingen, the family in becoming citizens of the United States adopted the name Jorgens. His wife's name was Secil, born Hagen, Reinlid, and their children with them were Eilif, Siri, wife of Ole Sven, and Sigrid, wife of Syver Bohn, and Halvor at present living on the old homestead. The two older children of the family had arrived in the settlement some years before, the daughter, Ingrid, the wife of Amund Finhart, and Ole, at present living in Minneapolis. This family came from Reinlid, Aurdal So. This ends the enumeration of Bear Creek settlers who came there more thtan 50 years ago, reckoning back from this year of the compilation of this topical sketch, now 1915. A complete history of the original settlers before fifty years ago, should give account of every child born of these families that would in the future enable many persons to trace the lineage of descent. Rev. Steen served the Bear Creek church till the year 1869. Steen was by natural disposition or bringing up in an aristocratic family, a stranger to the character of the common Norwegian people. He didn't try to become intimately acquainted with the church members or in any fashion attempted to gain their friendship or social relation, but always in an official superiority commanded. He showed this disposition as well when he ordered a woman to bring him a cup of coffee or brush his clothes, as when he presided at a church business meeting, and for the least little act by his parishioners that didn't suit his notions, he lost his patience and calm temper and broke out in intemperate language. Many of his most earnest and faithful church supporting members lost their love for him. In the crisis of the strained condition between Rev. Steen and his congregation, a Swedish Methodist preacher began to hold meetings and he was able to turn several families and individuals in favor of his church. At one time 15 families of the settlement joined the Methodist congregation. Most of them were members on probation. Rev. Bjork, that was the name of the preacher, was a forceful and enterprising man and soon had a small church and parsonage built on the highway corner two miles north of the present village of Grand Meadow--the village of Grand Meadow and the Southern Minnesota railroad were not in existence at this time. Rev. Bjork was an intelligent, shrewd and cunning man, but lacked the essential qualification necessary for a pulpit preacher. His congregation was nearly all Norwegians and he being an uneducated Swede was not able to modify his Swedish ianguage to properly impressive figures in language. He struggled and worked hard for the establishment of his church and increase of membership, but his defects as stated were against him, and besides this, many of the members moved away from the neighborhood, and he left the place for some other location. The Methodist conference of Minnesota was not willing to abandon the little church and sent several able preachers who could speak the Norwegian language intelligently. Among these were presiding elder Amund Olson UIland, a person of unstained character as a preacher, citizen and a sincere Christian. Another honorable, honest and upright man, Rev. Asle Knudsen spent a few years of his life there in earnest preaching, but the church could not be redeemed or advanced. The Lutheran church had by this time discharged Rev. Steen and in his place was the able and efficient Rev. Jorgen A. Thorsen. The Bear Creek church was built during the years 1869 and 1870, and the cemetery located about the church building. Rev. Thorsen preached in the Bear Creek church every fifth Sunday. In 1875 the Bear Creek congregation dissolved connection with the St. Olaf congregation and united with the churches of Bloomfield and Le Roy, and together with said church organizations sent a call for a preacher to the state church authorities in Norway, Rev. Ole A. Bue accepted the call and was installed minister of the united congregations Bloomfield, Bear Creek and Le Roy. In Bear Creek he preached every third Sunday. Rev. Bue served the Bear Creek congregation till the year 1893. At this time the Bear Creek church congregation dissolved connection with Bloomfield and Le Roy and together with the church organization of Grand Meadow Village established a parish by name Bear Creek and Grand Meadow. The new parish bought 50 acres of land near the Bear Creek church in Section 7, Town 103, Range 14, and erected necessary buildings on it for a preacher's home. At this time, 1893, the Bear Creek-Grand Meadow congregation accepted Rev. S. 0. Rondestvedt as their pastor. He served the churches till the year 1901 and resigned. During the same year, 1901, the churches called and accepted Rev. 0. G. Belsheim. He served the churches till the year 1907. During the year 1907 the churches called and accepted Rev. A. H. Gjevre. He served the churches till the year 1913 and resigned. In 1913 the churches called and accepted its present preacher, H. C. M. Jahren. This completes our brief skeleton history of the early settlement of the Bear Creek Norwegian colony with dates and figures of incidents in our possession. It is mostly compiled from personal recollections of the writers and other old persons yet living who at the early days were young children or youths. A comparatively full history of the developement of this colony up to the present date would make a large and interesting history. We will return to a few remarks about the hard struggles of the first years in the settlement. Nearly all the colonists were without money sufficient to insure them against great suffering during the first years before they could raise grain for bread and this con- dition was general among all settlers of all nationalities in the territory. Our Norwegian settlers were all young and strong people and able and willing to work, but could find little or no employment for pay. It must be understood that the first great necessity for all the settlers or homesteaders was to build shelters for themslves to live in and some kind of hovels for their domestic animals. It was, also, necessary to get as many acres of ground broke the first summer as possible so as to enable them to grow something for food the next year. The settlers brought their steers together and put 4, 5 or 6 pairs together in a string. This string they called breaking teams. In this way each and all got a patch of an acre or few acres broke. Many of the settlers were so poor that they didn't own a yoke of steers, but those who had oxen broke a patch for them.

Well, had to return the Index book for the Bear Creek Lutheran Cemetery, but have the information on file for future reference and for my tombstone transcription over the summer. Also, later this summer (after my guide recovers from knee surgery) will be going to check out a small cemetery not far from there which has some old graves. I don't know that it's the original Settlement cemetery, but it does have people from there apparently. For those with family at Bear Creek, just a bit of news about the church there. They are planning on adding on to the back of the church shortly, in part to repair storm damage. No graves will have to be moved. Look forward to seeing it. Lastly, thanks to the 10-thumb technology I use frequently, I have managed to delete my folder with all my Bear Creek correspondence in it. If any of you still have your messages to me (not through the list - I'll get those back via the Archives) could you please re-send them? Also, any other info on the Settlement you may have. I'd kind of like to fill out some of the history of it. Thanks much! :) Star O

Hei David, I'm the genealogist for the Valdres Samband Lag. I find a Elling Arneson from Ådalen and Siri Ellendsdatter Ospholt, born 1820, married 1845, who lived on place called Bråtån from 1847 and went to America in 1869. We only have records for Valdres, so I can't do anything about Elling Arneson. But Siri Arnesdatter Ospholt's line can be traced back in time. Children were: Mari b. 1845 Ingri b. 1847 Anne b. 1852 - to America with parents Kjersti b. 1850 " " Else b. 1854 " " Anders b, 1857 " " Sigri b. 1860, d. 1863 Sigri b. 1864 " " If you wish to join the Valdres Samband Lag, my help is free; only charge would be for a chart I make out (just what I pay for them), photocopying for our files for future reference and postage. Dues are $10 a year or $27 for three years, payable by check made out to the Valdres Samband Lag, and sent to our secretary, Diane Lerohl, 13400 Pepperwood Circle, Minnetonka, MN 55305. We'd like to hear from you.

Hi, Wondering if anyone knows about the ancestors of Elling Arnesen b. 1821 in Viker, Buskerud, married to Sigri Ellensdatter(Erlandsdr?). They lived in Hedal, Sor-Aurdal from about 1840. Sigri's parents possibly Ellen/Erland Anderson and Ingri Iversdatter. Appreciate any info; anyone with bygdebok of Sor-Aurdal/Hedal for that time period. Thanks, Dave

Hi, Just a note to let you know (if you haven't already seen it) that the DigitalArkivet site has changed in the last couple days and the following records from Valdres are now online: -Marriages in Aurdal 1692-1763 -Marriages in Slidre 1725-1814 -Burials in Aurdal 1697-1748 and 1763-1782 -Burials in Slidre 1725-1814 -Burials in Vang 1730-1808 -Migrants from Valdres 1816-1867 Something to keep me busy tomorrow, Garth

For: ctwiebe@pacbell.net (Linda Y. Dicken) Sorry this took so long - not all the "occupants" are in the index, so had to go through book page by page (didn't realize the cemetery was that crowded <G>). <A.E. Orwick listed. It was actually his wife "Caroline". Her birthdate is on the grave> Again, not in the index. Found Karen Aarwick, b 1843, died Racine Township, 29 May 1879. Plot #94 - 7 rows south of church's SW corner. In that same plot is Caroline Dalen, died of diphtheria, 2 Dec 1894, buried 4 Dec 1894. There is listed an Elise Randine Dalen, b 1835, d 1 July 1905 at Bear Creek, of cancer, buried 3 July 1905, and A.G.Dalen, b 1852, d 1 Oct 1920 at Bear Creek, "droped dead at work", buried 4 Oct 1920. Also listed: Gilbert Cornelius Dalen, b 1878, d 12 Jun 1878 in Clayton Township, no cause of death, buried 23 Nov 1878. Bertha Cornelia Dalen, b 1879, died in Clayton Township, no other notation. These four are in Plot # 28, which would be on the far east side of the cemetery, about the second row. There are a few other Dalen's but didn't know if you were interested in that side of the family or not (or if they're even related). Let me know. She is not listed in the index. I did find Anne, wife of Bertl O. Axness, no dob, died in Bear Creek, 2 July 1876. She is in plot 53, which is 2 rows east, 3 rows south of the SE corner of the church. Also found: Lars O. Axness, b 1841, d 23 Dec 1931, Grand Meadow, plot 186; Bernhard Axness, d 25 Dec 1894 Bear Creek, plot 186; Christine Axness, b 1847, d 21 Mar 1931, Grand Meadow, plot 186 (this is 2 rows west of center driveway, and 2nd row from road). Assume these are relatives of some sort or at least from same area of Norway... I will be trying to get out to the cemetery next week and will take a look at the actual markers for you, see what's of interest there. Hope this is of some help. Star O

If this cemetery book is the same one I saw, it has A.E. Orwick listed. It was actually his wife "Caroline". Her birthdate is on the grave and he was in Polk Co. in Numedal Twp in the 1885 and 1900 census. That area is currently in Pennington Co. His wife was my g-grandaunt. She was last seen in the 1875 State Census for Pleasant Valley Twp, Mower Co, MN (with Andrew E. Orwick) named Caroline Orwick. I know the stone is very hard to read but it must say "hustru of A.E.Orwick....". He married a widow named Ingebord Johnson, who moved to Numedal with him. I have "Caroline's" birth record from the Norwegian Parish Register and that is the date on the stone. I have another g-grandaunt buried there also; her name was Elise Olson Dalen, wife of Allen G. Dalen. I was wondering if there is a burial record there for Ann Olson, wife of William Bertil Olson. She was born on 26 April 1837 in Norway and died 26 Mar 1776 in Racine Twp, Mower Co, MN. Somehow I forgot to look for her in Bearcreek Cemetery when I was there two summers ago. Thank you for any help you may give.
