• Notes

  !SO: D-041 by Carol Reishus Lund. From Alice Lund. NOTES: D-042 relates that Sondre was an only child. And after his mother died, he wanted to take over the farm, Reishus. However his father was unwilling to turn the place over to him, apparantly becauce Sondre's father was intending to remarry and remain on the farm. Sondre and Ingeborg decided to go to America and the remainder of this `REISHUS FAMILY SAGA' deals with the details of the trip and the beginnings in America. They eventually bought 120 acres of farm land at First Lake, a distance of about 80 miles from Milwakee, WI. In 1853 the railroad came through a corner of their land. and the Indians had traded land to the whites that same year. Minnesota was still a Territiory. In 1854 they moved to Minnesota locating at the Root River in Fillmore County, where the town of Rushford would later be established. They did well on their farm there. In the fall of 1856? they sold their wheat for $1.50 per bushel.
