Engebret Anders. Viste

Other Events:

• Name: E. Anderson Wiste

Notes:

In 1867, Engebret Anders Wiste with his bride, Kristianna Sundheim, and his parents, Anders and Ane Wiste left their home in Valdres, Norway. They arrived at Houston County, Minnesota and joined his brother, Anders, who one year earlier, at age fifteen, had emigrated alone from Norway.

The family purchased a 160 acre farm which they operated with three span of horses and cared for eighteen head of cattle. On his farm, located four miles northwest of Taopi in Mower County, their five oldest children, Andrew, Ane Beata, Beret or Bessie, Theodor and Bernt were born. Bernt as a young child was evidently buried in this area.

By 1882, the family moved to Walsh County, Dakota Territory and settled in the Lankin area. There the three youngest children, Benjamin, Peter and Thorvald were born and baptized in the Pleasant Valley Church by Rev. M. C. Holseth. The grandparents were also buried here.

Sometime in the mid 1890's, the family moved to the Lake Park area. Here they continued their farming and rented a 250 acre farm owned by Thomas Canfield. Thorvald and Peter were confirmed in the Lake Park Church and attended rural schools in the area. Source: Helen Wiste Rosman, Ancestry
