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."

Syver was born on Oct 26, 1842 to Christopher Larsen and Anna Syversdatter, in Vang Valdres, Norway. He came to America with his family in 1853. He was 12 years old when his parents died. Syver was taken in by an English family, where he learne d to speak English, and he eventually forgot Norwegian. He joined the Union Army on August 22, 1862; he was 20 years old. He was in Company D of the 10th Regiment of the Minnesota Volunteers. He fought at Gettysburgh with Gen. Sherman on his march to the sea. Syver enlisted under the name of Chrstophe rson. After the war Lars, Syver, and Ole reunited in Goodhue County and there Syver met and maried Sonneva Ellingboe in 1867. They had 3 sons. They moved to Wang township in Renville County. Syver wass killed by a runaway, while haying in July 1874, and he is buried in a Wang cemetary.

Fra "The Lutefisk connection" vol 3 Winter 1999. Synnova and Sever Soine These wonderful old prints were found by Leonard Hansen last summer in the Minnesota basement of Thelma Soine Ross (Tom Soine, Sever Soine) and are reported to be of Synnova Ellingboe and Sever Soine. They were in a triptych with their son, Tom , but l don't have a repint of Tom's photo to share with you.

Probably taken while the couple still lived in Goodhue Co as Renville Co. was still pretty much frontier when they moved there in 1874. It was the fashion in photographs of the time to retouch them with a charcoal pencil, as fine plates of the tim e were expensive. As usual Synnova was in the fashion swim with her hair done in a snood with a bow on top of her head.

The photo was taken some time between 1867 when they were married and 1874 when Sever took up the claim in Renville Co. Sever was killed in the summer of 1875 when he was 33 and, since he had time to grow a goatee (enlisted men were clean shaven ) which was becoming grizzled by the time the photo was taken, I surmise that this Photo was taken more towards 1874 than earlier.

Cousin, now you can see how absolutely astonishing Leonard Hansen is at discovering family "goodies"! Many thanks to Leonard for these photos! And thanks to Thelma Soine Ross for allowing,, Leonard loose in her basement.

Short Regimental History - 10th Minn. Volunteers This is an abstract of the complete history as it appears in "Minnesota in the Civil and Indian Wars.. Many thanks to Shirley Manning who sent me photocopies of the pages on Sever and Ole. - Jan, Edt.

The Union Army was recruiting in Minnesota in the summer of 1862 when Sever Christopherson enlisted as a private in the 10th Minn. Volunteers from Warsaw, Rice Co. The Regiment, under Col. James H. Baker, had orders to travel to New York and the n to the Gulf via steamer; but before recruitment was complete the Sioux Indians in western Minnesota began misbehaving and the Regiment was sent to bolster other troops fighting around New Um, Nicollet Co. The captured Indians were sent to Mankat o army post where they were court-martialed and executed -In February of 1863. The winter of 1862/1863, the Regiment spent doing guard duty on the frontier, building stockades, and training. In camp at Henderson until February when they were ordered to Mankato to participate in the execution of die Sioux Indians.

In the summer of 1863, the 10th Minn., and other regiments took the offensive against the Indians, beat them up, and chased them across the Missouri River. On both campaigns Sever marched through the area where he would later homestead, but whic h was an Indian land in 1863 and 1863.

On the 18th of September 1863, orders arrived at Ft. Snelling, which was the main army post in die Minn. District (old Ft. Snelling is located across the river from Minneapolis and south of St. Paul) for the 10th to report to St. Louis, Mo. An d they traveled by boat to Dunleith , by rail to St. Louis. There the Regiment did garrison and provost duty as there were several military prisons for prisoners of war, for "stragglers" (a euphemism for deserters who got caught), 5 forts and many supply warehouses. It was at St. Louis that Col. Phelps resigne d and Capt. C.L. Davis took command of Co. D.

On April 22, 1864, the 10th Minn. left for Columbus, Ky and on June 19, 1864 they were sent to Memphis, Tenn. On July 13, 1864 the Rebels attacked them at Tupelo Hill, under Gen. Bedford Forrest who was protecting Gen. Hood's withdrawal. Gen. Fo rrest withdrew in an orderly fashion and the 10th pressed after him. Through the fall, the unit had several skirmishes in pursuit and harassment of the Rebels.

On Dec. 15 and 16, 1864 the 10th and other units assaulted Gen. Hood's earthworks and the last battle of Nashville ensued. After taking casualties, the 10th succeeded in driving out an exhausted Confederate Army. The 10th had the task of pressin g on Hood's rear, which sent them up against their old foe, Gen. Bedford Forrest. The 10th pushed on to Mobile Bay participating in the battle at Spanish Fort.

The war was over and the 10th returned to Ft. Snelling via rive steamer and were formally mustered out of the Union Army on August 19, 1865.

That's what Sever's unit was doing from 1862 to 1865, but what Sever was doing is another matter. His war records show that he was present at all of the Indian Wars, and that he went south from Ft. Snelling to St. Louis. However, his records show that in May of 1864 he was in the Post Hospital in Columbus, Ky. because of sickness, not specified. Half the the casualties in the Civil War died of illnesses such as typhoid smallpox, dysentery, and just plain old pneumonia. Hs re cords say he was ill through the fall of 1864/1865, and that he was forwarded to Ft. Snelling the middle of Aug. 1864 and was ill until Oct. 20th when he resumed his duties at Ft. Snelling.

His papers say that Sever was 20 years old when he enlisted, that he was 5 ft, 9 inches, his eyes- gray, his hair and complexion -light. Sever Christopherson appears on the official roster of Company D.

Notes:

He was 10 year when his parents died.

Candice Soine skriver: "Ole hired out to a very rough and unkind woodcutter. If he could not meet the quota for the day, he was not permitted to have supper. When he was 13 years old he cut his finger with an axe while he was chopping wood. It was cut so badly that only a small portion of flesh kept it from falling off. He put the two ends together as best he could, and bandaged the finger with strips of cloth. He did all of the aftercare himself and eventually, the cut healed and his finger remained stiff and crooked, but somewhat useful. Ole went from Michigan to Dana County in Wisconsin and was there from 1857-1869. Then he went to Iowa until 1862 and finally to Goodhue County in Minnesota in 1862. Ole enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 19 on December 12, 1863 and was mustered out on December 2, 1865. On January 15, 1869 Ole married Gertrude (Gjertrud) Elton and they had eight children. Gertrude died 21 September 1885 and Ole remarried in 1886. His second wife was Sigrid Loe Haugen who was a widow with three children. Ole and Sigrid had two children. Ole died on 13 March 1924. He was a naturalized citizen and he owned a farm, but could not speak English in 1900."


Fra "The Lutefisk connection" Vol 3 Winter 1999: A word about Ole Christopherson's service record - We have an interview of Ole Soine by his stepgrandson, Tyler Soine, that places Ole's unit at Gettysburg, but that is not so. Ole's unit, the 2nd Minn. Cavalry, was fighting Sioux Indians unti l 1866 and was nowhere near Gettysburg. The history of the 2nd Cavalry is great stuff and reads like a script for a John Ford Flick!
