FAMILY HISTORY

As Told by Amelia Chaudoin

Marit had inherited the farm called Lien (the farm was named for Lien District where they lived) and was raising her three daughters there. Halvor Anders Myre, a widower, from Bergen, came to work for her when he heard that she was a widow, and after a whirlwind courtship they were married in 1861. Marit refused to marry him unless he would move to Lien and take her name, as she wanted all her children to have the same name, so he had to give in. She was a very strong woman emotionally. Marit and Halvor had six children.

The name change for Halvor and Marit came from Lien to Lee when they immigrated to America. Immigration would not let Halvor go back to the name Anders as it would be too hard to trace the family but they did allow him to drop the n and change the i to e, thus Lee.

Marit's three oldest children, Thora, Inger and Sarah, immigrated to the United States before she and Halvor and their six children came. Our ancestor, Andrew, was 12 years old when they immigrated in 1882 from Norway to Blooming Prairie, MN.

Marit was 47 years old when Oliana, her youngest child, was born. She was in her 50's when they came to America and almost 60 when they came to South Dakota in 1886. (Oliana was 12.) Halvor wanted to move again, this time to Wisconsin, but Marit refused, saying she had followed him from Norway to Minnesota to South Dakota and that was it. She died in 1902 and is buried west of Oldham at Trinity Lutheran Church.

Halvor Lee moved to Catawba, Wisconsin in 1903. His daughter Bertha, her husband Martin Madson and their eleven children went with him. Bertha later had two more children in Wisconsin. Halvor married for the third time, a 25 year old woman. We have no record of this person. Halvor had burned his lip with a cigar and cancer set in, causing his death on November 26, 1913. His daughter Bertha took care of him his last days.

Some Side Notes on Family Stories

Marit was a very stern and religious woman. Someone once asked her why she never smiled; she replied, "Christ never smiled".

Mary (Anna Maria) Lee Olson, oldest daughter of Halvor and Marit, came by wagon train to South Dakota from Minnesota. She was the only woman of the group to walk the entire way.

Gilbert Lee, Andrew's younger brother, died from an accident involving cutting wood. Some of the wood fell on his lower body causing injuries; he lived for a time but died as a result of the injuries.
