Caroline Melby Anderson

Knud and Guri Melby, together with their seven children had emigrated from Rogne, Øystre Slidre, Valdres, Norway in 1881. They destination was Goodhue County Minnesota where they stayed for 3 years while they were gaining their bearing in this ne w land. Then in 1884 they moved to Griggs County North Dakota settling on their first homestead. It is likely that Knud with the help of his older children quickly built a sod house, then broke some of the land, and planted seed that they had brou ght with them from MN. Then on September 3rd of that year, their eighth child Caroline, known as Lena, was born. In 1887, the family moved a little further west to Foster County North Dakota. It was here that her father and older brother Ole helpe d establish the Melby School District in 1888 where she attended most of her grade school years. In 1893, her parents moved to the newly opened land of Manfred Township in Wells County where she completed her schooling, afterwhich she taught schoo l for a few years.

Caroline's future husband, Olaf Anderson was born in Norway in 1877. His last name there was Boe. His father's first was Anders, so Olav took the name Anderson. In 1897, he had settled in Hillsdale Township located in the northwest corner of Well s County. Manfred was a booming town with much railroad traffic, and an ideal place to start a livery. In 1900 he moved to Manfed, and built a large barn to establish a livery and feed stable, and started up a dray service to haul goods to and fro m the railroad. He also started up an ice business in the winter with a crew of several men, cutting ice from the James River and shipping it by train. And as a result of living in the same community, Caroline and Olaf had the opportunity to meet and where then married at Vang Lutheran Church in 1903. Four children were born to them: Clayton 1904, Gordon 1907, Alice 1912, Orvin 1917. Clayton di d not have children, the others havedescendants.

Caroline was active in the Vang Ladies Aid, cooked in the cook cars for threshing, and was well known for her yard filled with beautiful flowers. For Olaf, a natural addition to his dray service was to sell automobiles when they first became available and other farm equipment as well. Olaf died suddenly of a heart attack in 1931, and Caroline continued to live in her home in Manfred. She di ed in 1971, and both Olaf and she are buried at Manfred ND.
