Candice Soine skriver: "Lars Christophersen Soine was born on 14 June 1830 in Vang Valdres Norway. He came to America with his parents in 1853, he was 23 years old. He went by he name Lars O Christophersen. He worked in the logging camps in Wisconsin. He rod the logs down the river, to keep them from jumbling. Several times he was thrown, by the force of the swift current and the jerking logs, in to the water. In 1956 he married Anna Ellestad. Three of their nine children were born in Wisconsin. In early 1860's Lars and Anna went moved to Goodhue County in Minnesota, where they rented a farm for a few years. Then they purchased 160 acres in Warsaw township in Goodhue County. At this time he returned to using the name Lars Soine. Lars and Anna lived in a small house on their land until 1884, when they built a 12 room house for two families. He planned this house for two families, so that he would have a place of his own in their old age. Lars and Anna lived in four rooms , two rooms downstairs (12x14 and 14x16) and two rooms upstairs. Their son, Thomas, and his family of 12 lived in seven of the rooms, four big rooms downstairs and three upstairs. The room above the kitchen was used as a store room for both families. Bo th families used the same stairs and hallway to the second floor. Each families had there own cellar and stairs. The pump was on the porch between the to kitchens. (Don't you think many old folks would love this arrangement now a days instead of old folks home?) (HB's mrk: Denne ideen hare nok Lars hatt med seg fra Vang, han har nok tenkt på kårstuene der, da han bygde det store huset.) These two families lived in Harmony for 24 ½ years. In 1916 Anna and Lars celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Anna died that fall at the age of 83 and Lars died the following April 1917."
