Surnames: Hovde, Hanson, Brunn, Brack, Bruberg Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gFC.2ACI/1367 Message Board Post: Ole HOVDE, a well known and respected citizen of the town of Peru (Dunn Co, WI), who has added to its agricultural resources by building up a good farm, was born in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, Oct 8, 1860, son of Ole and Ingeborg (Settern) HOVDE. Both the parents died in Norway where they spent their lives. Ole as a boy attended public schools there and was 24 years old when he came to America in 1884, first locating at Eau Claire (WI). Thence he came to Dunn County, entering the employ of Peter Gilbertson of Peru, for whom he worked 5 years, afterwards renting landing from him in the town of Peru, which he farmed for 2 years. At the end of that time he bought his present farm of 120 acres, of which 40 acres are in Section 26 and 80 in Section 35. It was an old farm with poor buildings, but some of the land had been broken and Mr. Hovde started to improve it. The 33 years he has since lived on this place have been well spent and the results are plain to be seen in the most important improvements on it have been effected within recent years. In 1904 Mr. Hovde built a residence of 8 rooms and in 1909 a good modern barn of 32 x 50 feet, and his granary, machine shed and other buildings are well and substantially constructed. 90 acres of his farm are now under cultivation, the balance being in timber and pasture. The catte are grade Guernseys with a pure bred sire in the herd and Duroc-Jersey hogs are also raised. The farm is situated on State Trunk Highway No. 85 and is 11 miles from Durand. Mr. Hovde is a stockholder in the Meridean creamery, a cooperative concern, and the Rock Falls and Meridean Telephone co. He was married in April, 1890, to Inga HANSON who was born in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway on Nov. 28, 1867 and who came to this country in 1889, settling in Meridean. Mr. and Mrs. Hovde are the parents of three children: Otto M., Margaret K. and Ida H. Otto M., born Oct 14, 1893, has remained on the home farm assisting his father. He married Esther BRUNN of Menomonie and they have one child, Gilbert O., who was born May 2, 1923. Margaret K., born Aug. 7, 1898, married Lawrence BRACK and they live in St. Paul. Ida H., born Sept 19, married Sever BRUBERG and resides in Caryville. Their children are Mildred and Leslie. Mr. Hovde and his family are members of the Lutheran Church and are people who stand well in the community. Transcribed from "The History of Dunn County (Wisconsin)", 1925, p. 923 I have no further information about this family and am not related.

The women's father Kristian Olson also migrated to Wisconsin and died in in Dunn County in 1913. Sam Thompson and Bergina were my great-grandparents. I know little or nothing about the family and would appreciate any information or contact with cousins. Thanks in advance, Sue

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stevens, Rice, Crossmun Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gFC.2ACI/1364 Message Board Post: Marion S. Stevens is a lawyer living in Graceville, Minnesota. He traces his ancestry back to England, but his parents and grand parents were native of Summerset County, Maine. His father, Elija Grant Stevens, was married to Miss Mary Rice, of Summerset County, in 1849, and during the same year moved to what is now Pepin County, Wisconsin. He was twice elected sheriff of Dunn County, Wisconsin, and held other positions of trust and responsibility up to the time of his death, which occurred in 1872. He moved to Minnesota in 1864, but after six years returned to Pepin County, where he passed the remainder of his days. His son Marion was born in 1854, in Pepin County. He was one of a family of seven children, who are all living. When his father came to Minnesota in 1864 young Marion was, of course, with the family, but instead of returning to Wisconsin he established himself in this state and has lived here ever since. He received a common school education, supplemented by an ! academic course. Since finishing his school life he has followed the early acquired habit of reading and study until he is one of the best read men in the state. Mr. Stevens went to Graceville in 1878 when the place was first settled. He studied law there and was admitted to practice before the Hon. C. L. Brown, District Judge, in 1889. Upon his admission to the bar he at once engaged in the practice of law at Graceville, and by his energy and ability he soon worked up a lucrative practice. While living in Graceville Mr. Stevens has done valuable and effective work for the Republican party in that section of the state. Though having extensive acquaintance he has persistently-refused to accept office. At present he is chairman of the Republican committee. In Masonic, Pythian and Woodmen orders he is prominent and influential. In 1889 Mr. Stevens married Sue J. Crossmun, of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Miss Crossmun was at that time principal of the high school at Burlingame, K! ansas. They have a daughter, Marion Fay, and a son, Lloyd C. Library of Congress.

I think that the new law is a blow to the genealogists. How in the world did that go through? Maryellen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Schwartz" <lschwartz@mindspring.com> To: <WIDUNN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 4:36 PM Subject: [DUNN] Wis Death Certificate Changes Death certificate information restricted New law blocks media, public from learning how person died The Associated Press By Todd Richmond MADISON -- Death certificates won't list how a person died anymore, under new laws that take effect Jan. 1. Starting Wednesday, details of a death, including the cause and the deceased's long-term health problems, will no longer appear on death certificates. Only immediate family, direct descendants, government workers and others with a direct and tangible interest will have access to the information for the first 50 years after a person's death. There's people who want to know what someone died of who don't really need to know, said Chippewa County Coroner Katherine Gerrits. The press, for one. Most Wisconsin bills become law soon after the Legislature and the governor approve them, but the death certificate change is one of seven laws that state legislators decided will take effect on New Year's Day. Closing death certificate information has caused a stir among journalists. Wisconsin Newspaper Association executive director Sandra George said the provision reflects a disturbing trend of government officials closing public records. Wisconsin was one of 14 states that included cause of death and health details on death certificates, said John Chapin, state Bureau of Health Statistics interim director. Officials wanted to close the information to bring Wisconsin in line with other states, he said. Peggy Peterson, state Vital Records Office field representative, said some complained death certificates included too many details. Under the new law, families can decide whether to give out details of a death while settling estates and benefits. Government workers will still have full run of details to study death rates and trends, Peterson said. A committee of coroners, police officers and media representatives is working to define who has direct and tangible interest in the closed information. George said the biggest danger in the new law is some public officials may refuse to release the cause of death. Autopsy reports remain public record under Wisconsin law, and people can still talk to reporters, she said. ==== WIDUNN Mailing List ==== Locate CURRENT Dunn County OBITUARIES at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~widunn/obitindx.htm

Surnames: Heller, Kurtz Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gFC.2ACI/1358 Message Board Post: Louis Heller, now living retired in North Menomonie after a long and active career in several occupations, but chiefly in farming, was born in Pommern, Germany, Oct 7, 1846. At the age of 15 he started to learn the miller's trade, at which he was subsequently employed in his native land until he was 21. Then in 1867 he came to the United States and directly to Menomonie, Wis. It ook him two weeks to make the journey by train from New York to Milwaukee, and a week longer to reach Menomonie, as he traveled from Milwaukee to Menomonie partly by stage and partly on foot. On arriving here he at once found employment with Knapp, Stout & Co. in their flour mill, where he worked for 2 years. At the end of that time he was transferred to Rice Lake, where he put up a mill for the company. He also built the first hotel in Rice Lake, besides a number of houses and barns for Knapp, Stout & Co. While in Rice Lake he bought 160 acres of land which he sold, after making some improvements on it, to W. Heller, manager there for Knapp, Stout & Co. In 1871 he returned to Menomonie and here followed the carpenter's trade. In August, 1873, Mr. Heller was united in marriage with Emilie Kurtz, like himself a native of Germany, and in December, 1874, they left for a visit to their native land, returning in the following spring, when he again took up carpenter work. Soon afterwards, however, he bought a farm near Knapp, where he and his family made their home for 8 years, and while residing there he built a flour and grist mill at Teegarden for Thomas Teegarden. He then bought some timber land on Wilson Creek, near North Menomonie, built a dam on the creek and for 8 years used the water power to operate a saw and a grist mill. The business grew until the water power finally proved insufficient to operate the mill, and he then changed to steam power, which he used for 7 years. At the end of that time he sold the mill and moved it to Wyoming for the purchaser, again taking up farming, at which he was occupied until 1918, when he retired and took up his residence in North Menomonie. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Heller have been the parents of five children, one of whom, Robert H., is now a farmer in Section 6, town of Menomonie. The other four, Otto, Ida, Anna and Albert, are deceased. ------------- Extracted from The History of Dunn County (1925), p. 563. I have no further information about this family.

He grew to manhood in his native land, where he attended school and subsequently operated a small farm. On May 11, 1871, he married Johanna Dahl, who was born April 2, 1849. Mr. Hammer remained in Norway for nine years after his marriage. Then, as their family was increasing without a corresponding increase in their means, he and his wife made up their minds to emigrate. It was necessary that they should be separated for a while, for he had not money enough to take them all with him, and, besides, there was a possibility that they might not like the new country; so in 1880 he came on alone to Dunn County, Wis. and found employment in the planing-mill of Knapp, Stout & Co. at Cedar Falls. The wages of mill men in those days were not high and it was not until 1882 [sic] that Mr. Hammer had saved enough money to be able to send for his family. They then joined him and there was a happy family reunion when they arrived in the little mill town after so long a separation. Mr. Hammer continued working for the famous lumber company above mentioned for ten years longer; but he had ambitions to be something more than a wage worker, and, moreover, could foresee the time when the mills would have to shut down for lack of material, when the timber should become exhausted. In 1892 therefore, he made a start in a new direction, buying 40 acres of land in Section 32, town of Menomonie. But on that place he remained only a year, at the end of that time selling it and buying another tract of 60 acres in the same section. Later he bought an 80-acre tract in Section 33, which was covered with stumps and brush. On his land in Section 32 he proceeded to make a home and devel! op a farm. In course of time he cleared up a considerable portion of the land and erected a fair set of buildings. His agricultural operations were continued until 1914, in which year he sold the home farm to his son Anton, and the 80 acres in Section 33 to his son, Oscar. He continued to reside on the farm, however, until his death on Jan. 23, 1921. Mr. and Mrs. Ole Hammer were the parents of 11 children, seven of whom are now living, as follows: Kari, now Mrs. Ole Evjen of West Duluth; Rena, who married a Mr. Kjellen and is now a widow residing in Park Falls, Wis.; Johanna, who is Mrs. Edward Moe of Eau Claire; Anna, wife of August Frier of Eau Claire; Ragna, who is Mrs. Ben Ingen of the town of Lucas; Anton, residing on the home farm, and Oscar, a farmer in the town of Menomonie. Anton Hammer, the present proprietor of the Hammer farm, was born march 18, 1886, at Cedar Falls, Wis., and as a boy attended district school in the town of Menomonie. He learned agriculture on the home place, which he purchased in 1914, at the time of his father’s death, and he has since operated it, successfully carrying on general farming and dairying. In 1916 he built a new barn of 36 x 60 feet, installed with the James equipment. He is a stockholder in the Hudson Road Creamery, and the Downsville Cooperative Creamery. He is fraternally affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He has never married and is taking care of his aged mother. They are both members of Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Menomonie.
