Fred and Anna Lindbo Husband's Full Name: Gotfred Rudolph Lindbo Husband's Place of Birth: Rock Prairie, Grand Co, MN Husband's Father's Name: Gullik Torsteinsen Lindbo Husband's Mother's Name: Ragnhild Sætra Vigen Husband's Siblings' Names: Nina, Thomas, Gilbert, Milfred, Clarence, Agnes Wife's Full Name: Anna Sophia Ongstad Wife's Place of Birth: Pelican Rapids, MN Wife's Father's Name: Hans Peder Hendrickson Wife's Mother's Name: Nicoline Olson Wife's Siblings' Names: Hilda, Clara, Alfred, Emil, Henry, Olaf, Oscar, James, Lottie, Ida, Minnie, Edna Children's Names: Floyd and Gordon Fred, Floyd, Anna and Gordon Lindbo Anna Sofia Ongstad was born March 26, 1887 near Pelican Rapids, the fifth child of Hans and Nicoline Ongstad. At first, she worked as a domestic in various Minnesota cities. Anna eventually gravitated to the Manfred, North Dakota area where she worked as a ‘house helper’ for various people. It was there that she met Gotfred (Fred) Rudolph Lindbo and they married February 24, 1920 at Manfred. At that time, Fred was working for Olaf Anderson who ran the livery stable in Manfred. Fred was born January 13, 1893 at Rock Prairie in Grant County, Minnesota to Gullik Torstenson Lindbo and Ragnhild Knutsdotter Sattra Vigen. Gullik later moved to the Manfred area near present day Heimdal, joining Vang Lutheran Church in 1897. In 1902, Vang Lutheran divided into two congregations due to the large geographical area it served, and Gullik became a charter member of East Vang Lutheran Church. A painting, by Manfred pioneer and folk artist Nennie Johnson, Gullik won at a raffle sponsored by the Fagerlund Sons of Norway, has been given to the Manfred Heritage Museum by his grandson Floyd enabling this historic painting to return to the place where it had been created. Anna and Fred were members of Vang Lutheran, and lived in the Manfred area 1920-1943. Their son Floyd recounts, “My parents moved to a farm about two and a half miles northeast of town known as Paul’s place. In 1922, they rented a farm later known as ‘Lonesome’ two miles further north. This place was, I believe, owned by Irvin Iverson. I was born on that farm February 11, 1923, and exactly a year later my brother Gordon was born. In 1929, we moved again, having rented the C.C. Melby farm (now known as the Flick farm.) We were there until the fall of 1935 when we rented the Albert Biever place a half mile south of town. My parents lived there until about 1943, when they purchased their first farm four miles east of Bremen.” Anna and Fred later moved to New Rockford, and in 1954 moved to Everett, Washington. Fred died at Everett, Washington on December 11, 1977, and Anna on February 7, 1980. Their son Floyd and wife Cecile (Yetts) had three children: Darrell, Larry, Jeffrey. Seven grandchildren. Gordon and his wife Vergie (Mallam) had two children, Janis and Jean. Four grandchildren. Gordon died in 1991. Floyd’s wife Cecile died in 1994 and his son Larry died in 2004.

Ole L. and Anna Rodne Husband's Full Name: Ole L. Rodne Husband's Place of Birth: Imsland, Rogaland, Norway Husband's Father's Name: Lars Olsen Hebnes Husband's Mother's Name: Sigrid Ølsdatter Vormestrand Husband's Siblings' Names: Karen (Ivan Rodne); Sevrin (Anna Finvik; Ole Johan (Margit Ølsdatter Knutson); Haldor (Delia Ring) Wife's Full Name: Anna O. Lunde Rodne Wife's Place of Birth: Suldal, Norway Wife's Father's Name: Ola A. Lunde Wife's Mother's Name: Guri Galland Wife's Siblings' Names: unknown Children's Names: Lars (Inez Erickson); Oliver (Inga Overland); Arthur, Otto, Alfred (Mabel Dovre); Carl (Agnes Stenerson); Gena (Lirgg); Laura (Bill Cook); Berger (Olive Stenerson); Sena (Andrew Hillesland) Ole L. and Anna Rodne Back: Sara, Otto, Lars, Oliver, Arthur, Alfred Front, Laura, Ole L. Carl, Berger, Anna, Gina In his early teens, Ole joined the Norwegian seamen and experienced high adventures. He immigrated in 1892 and worked in Buxton for a year before homesteading in Wells County in 1893. One winter day, he had to fight off a wolf pack with his jack knife, but finally made it back to his claim shack. In 1910, he and his family of seven children returned to Norway to visit his dad and family. They stayed three years during which time the twins, Laura and Gina were born. Ole and Anna were married in 1896 in Hillsboro, ND. They had 10 children. Ole L. Rodne was born at Imsland (Stavanger), Norway on February 17, 1871, and grew up on the family farm. He had many stories to tell his children and grandchildren of the storms at sea, the setting of sails and the shipwrecks. This work also took him into fishing and whaling ventures. In 1892, he immigrated to the United States leaving the mountains and fjords of his native land and settled on the open prairies of North Dakota. As the Homestead Act opened up lands in the west, Mr. Rodne also traveled westward and worked a year at Buxton, ND, before filing for a homestead in what is now Wells County in the year 1893. He told of life in the early days; the breaking up of the land with a team of oxen and pounding his own plow shares at the end of each round. Besides the farm work, he also dug wells by hand with only a spade. From early morning, until late at night he labored for the measly wage of 75 cents a day. He also built sod houses in the neighborhood. One incident he related was when he went back to Buxton on business for a few days and came back only to find his claim shack stolen. Before railroads came, long trips with horses and wagon had to be made by the homesteaders to sell their wheat and bring back supplies for the winter. When the family became larger, as much as thirty-five, one hundred pound sacks of flour, a fifty gallon barrel of coffee and two, one hundred pound sacks of sugar were needed. Ole L. told also of going on foot to see a neighbor on a winter day. On the way back the wind increased and the snow began blowing so the visibility was almost zero. Then he heard it... the low growl of the wolf pack as closer and closer they came. Then with only an open jack knife, he had to fight back those hungry wolves in the deep snow. Half crawling, half walking, he finally made it home to his shack. After living three years on the claim, Ole went back to Buxton, ND and married Anna Lunde, (who was born, August 10, 1875, near Suldal, Norway), at the Grue Lutheran Church on March 24, 1896. Together they built up their home consisting of a sod house and several other buildings on the land. To this union were born eight boys and three girls: Sena (Andrew Hillesland); Seattle Lars (Inez Erickson), Seattle; Oliver (Inga Overland), Manfred; Arthur, Manfred; Otto, Manfred; Alfred (Mabel Dovre), Manfred and Seattle, Carl (Agnes Stenerson), Dodge, ND; twin girls Laura (William Cook), Seattle and Gina, Seattle; twins boys Berger (Olive Stenerson) Birger, who died in infancy. In 1910, Mr. Rodne took his family of seven children and returned to Norway to visit his father, Lars and family. They stayed there three years, doing some hunting and fishing also. On the return trip, nine children came back as twin girls were born in Norway during their stay. Mrs. Rodne died in 1939 at the age of 64. Mr. Rodne died in 1956 at the age of 85 years. They are buried in the Bethel Lutheran Cemetery near Manfred. We look back in awe at these hardy, God fearing settlers who established homes and raised large families with so few conveniences, with only crude machinery to work with and poor roads and means of travel.

School and Church Constructed1 Education and Worship a Priority After the erection of modest frame houses, shanties and dugouts, the first aim of the pioneers was to provide schools for the children and places of worship for congregations to be organized. Elections were held to choose school board officers; congregations were organized, and services were conducted in various schoolhouses, which became centers for civic, social and religious gatherings. First Church Constructed In 1906, a church building was erected in Manfred serving the Lutheran congregations and others. It is still serving as a place of worship for the American Lutheran Church organized seventy years ago. First School House The first schoolhouse in Manfred Township in 1893 was a little building located on the south side of the tracks in Manfred. Sadie Hutchinson of New York state was the first teacher and Marshall Brinton was the first County Superintendent of Schools. A former pupil of this little school, now 73 years of age is living and active in Scobey, Montana. She is Emma Nordtorp, and she has sent the following song which seemed to be popular at that time. Forty little urchins coming thru the door Pushing, crowding, making a tremendous roar. “You must keep more quiet. Can’t you mind the rule?” Bless me, this is pleasant, teaching public school. Forty little urchins on the road to fame, If they fail to reach it, who will be to blame? High and lowly station, brought together here. On a common level, meet from year to year. Dirty little faces, loving little hearts Eyes so full of mischief, skilled in all its arts. “That’s a precious darling, what are you about?” Half a dozen asking, “Please may I go out?” Anxious parents drop in, merely to inquire Why their olive branches do not shoot up higher. Spelling, reading, thumping those who break the rule Bless me this is pleasant, teaching public school. Source: Sennev Nertrost Whipple Date March 1966

When Ingvald could no longer continue the demanding life of a farmer, he and Olida moved into the town of Manfred where he continued to grow food for his own table. Ingvald spoke of returning to Norway but was never able to fulfill that dream. He died on April 1, 1963. Olida remained in their Manfred home until her death April 13, 1969.
