Carl E. Vangsness' Descendant's

Iver and Unni came to the States with their son, John E. Vangsness in 1854. John was two at the time. Their third son, Carl E., was born in Wisconsin on October 14, 1860.

Here is some information I found about Carl and his family:

From the book - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. published in 1909.

Carl E. Vangsness was born in Wisconsin, October 14, 1860, son of Iver and Unni Vangsness,natives of Norway, who came to America in 1854 and located in Wisconsin, where the father engaged in general labor until 1862, when they came to Belle Creek township and purchased 130 acres of wild land on Section 31, which the father broke and cleared, improved the land and built a home and other buildings necessary to carry on successful farming. Here Iver died on May 2, 1905, Unni having passed away in 1868. 

He received his education in Belle Creek, and worked on the farm with his father until he was twenty-eight years of age, when he purchased eighty acres of land in Section 29; he also rents 160 acres and follows a general line of farming and stock raising. Mr. Vangsness was married March 2, 1888, to Elizabeth Iverson, daughter of Iver and Berit (Romo) Iverson, natives of Norway. They came to America and located in Wanamingo township, where they have since been engaged in farming. Mr. and Mrs. Vangsness have ten children: Ingmar, who is a student at the State University; Iver, Bella, Henry, Rudolph, George, Ida, Florence, Luella and Clarence. Mr. Vangsness is a Republican in his politics and has been road overseer and director of the school board for several years. He and his family are members of the Norwegian Lutheran church. 

Here are some photos that I have.
