During the 1880 and through 1897, the following Piatt's were married in Dunn Co., Wisconsin: Margaret E. in 1888, Alexander S. in 1888, Martin L. in 1890 and Abram in 1897. I am searching for any descendants of this family. Other siblings were George, Julia A., David, Narcissuss and Elizabeth. Their parents were William and Anne Piatt. I am working on the parentage of Ann Truax Piatt and would like to find some descendant who has information on her background. Any help would be much appreciated. I see now that the Wisconsin site now only lists the name of the person you asked for in marriage and won't tell me who they married. What a shame. Martin and his wife Emma, or at least Martin, died in Bonner Co., Idaho. Thanks, Jerilyn

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Moen, Johnson, Aasen, Anderson, Miller, Peterson, Sprague, Stene, Knutson Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gFC.2ACI/1238 Message Board Post: Ole Moen, proprietor of a farm of 280 acres in the town of Wilson, was born in Norway, Nov. 30, 1861, son of Nels and Martha Moen. In his native land the father was a shoemaker and lumberman. It was in 1870 that he emigrated with his family to the United States, settling in Fillmore County, Minn., where for six years he (the father) followed his trade of shoemaker and worked on farms. In 1876 he came to Dunn County and homesteaded 160 acres of land in Section 32, town of Wilson. The journey was made with a covered wagon and ox team and the family drove some stock along with them. The land they had purchased covered with brush and jack pine and until Mr. Moen could make a small clearing and build a house, they took up their quarters with friends in the town of Otter Creek. Their first dwelling on the place was a log house and Mr. Moen also built a straw roof barn. With the help of his family he cleared the land and farmed there for 25 years, at the end of which time he retired. He is now 87 years old and is riding with his daughter, Mrs. Oscar Anderson in Chippewa county. His wife, Mrs. Martha Moen, died in 1901. They had seven children, one of whom, Matt, died in 1920. The others who are living are: Ole, Otto, Anna, Sena, Lena and Hilda. Anna is the wife of Julius Miller of Chippewa Falls, Sena the wife of Sever Peterson of Jump River, Wis., Lena t! he wife of Frank Sprague of Cornell, Wis., and Hilda, the wife of Oscar Anderson of Cobban, Wis. Ole Moen was nine years old when he came with his parents to the United States. In Minnesota he attended a Norwegian school and worked for farmers. When his parents and the rest of the family came to Dunn County in 1876 he was a well grown lad of 15 and able to be useful. During the summers he worked on the home farm and during the winters in logging camps, for three years being in the employ of the Knapp, Stout and Co., a part of his duties being the cutting of hay and haulingof it with an ox team. He has never had the inclination to become a rolling-stone, but except when lumbering, has stuck close to the parental homestead, which he has done much to build up and develop to its present condition. He finally bought it from his father and has sheeted and remodeled the old log house, building an addition to it. In 1914 he built a barn of 36 x 64 feet, with a full basement and the Lowden equipment. He carries on general farming and dairying, having 100 acres under the plow and a herd of 27 grade cattle, also raising Duroc-jersey hogs. Having some time ago bought a tract of 120 acres in the town of Otter Creek, he has thus increased the size of his farm to 280 acres, 180 acres of which are in pasture and woodland. For 20 years he has served as treasurer of the school board. Mr. Moen was married in 1904 at Prairie Farm, Barron County, Wis. to Mrs. Nettie Johnson, widow of Oluf Johnson and daughter of Iver and Anna Aasen. Her parents, natives of Norway and early settlers in Dunn County, are now deceased. They had 8 children, one of whom, Anna married Jens Stene, of the town of Tainter, is dead. The living are Ole, Lena, Gena, Ingvold, Isaac, Laura and Nettie. Lena is the wilfe of Charles Holnberg of Minneapolis, and Laura, the wife of Ed Knutson of the town of Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Ole Moen are the parents of three children, Norris, Arthur and Evelyn. By her first marriage, Mrs. Moen had four children, of whom 3 are living, namely Alvera, Alma and Oleann, the one deceased being Mabel. Alma married Carsten Emmerson of Minneapolis and Olenna is the wife of Hogan Knutson of Norton, Wis. Extracted from: The "History of Dunn County, Wisconsin", 1925, p. 886-887.

Marion Smith was indeed married to Favorite.. but Favorites husband is not the same Marion that is listed in the posting. Favorite's husband (Marion D. Smith) was born in 1897 died in 1960. Is buried at the Connorsville Grace Lutheran Church Cemetery in New Haven Township, Dunn County. The two of them farmed in the New Haven Township area most of their lives. They had 12 children (and I don't think Irene is one of them) Just off the top of my head,,, there are daughters Joyce, Janet, (and more) Sons Alan, Dale, Delbert,(and more) Favorite has resided in a small house right in Connorsville for almost 50 yrs, I have sat and visited with her many many times on her front porch. She is a wonderfully delightful woman! Full of wit and a great sense of humor. Favorite will be 95 ( I think) in July. She currently resides at the Glenhaven Nursing home. She is in wonderful health. It just became very lonely for her being all alone ... So last summer she decided to check into the nursing home, She loves being in Glenhaven. She has a private room, does her knitting and crocheting and puzzles, and knows most of the residents there.
