ANTON SATROM FAMILY Back: Rose, Peter, Alma, Gilmore Front: Anton, Mabel, Sigrid Anton Satrom was born in Dovre, Norway on August 19. 1868. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith in the Dovre Church. At the age of eighteen, he immigrated to America. Here he found work on the ore docks at Two Harbors. Minnesota. A few years later, he moved on to Galesburg. North Dakota, where some of his sisters and brothers had already established homes. Anton found work at the Broadlawn farm in Steele County (where Gilmore and Philip Jondahl presently reside). Anton did general farm work besides breaking broncos, which they had many of. since it was one of the largest farms. Sigri Brennhaug was born in Dovre. Norway, on November 26, 1864. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith and came to America when she was a young girl. She, too. came to the Broadlawn farm and found work as a domestic. She cooked in a cook car where all the hands would eat their meals. In later years Sigri would often mention how lonely many of these newcomers would be. the language barrier being a tremendous handicap among many other obstacles. It was while working at the Broadlawn farm that Sigri and Anton fell in love and decided to get married. They drove to Portland, North Dakota in a lumber wagon drawn by two mules. This was a distance of about twenty-five miles. They were married on November 24. 1890 by Reverend Hans Allen. After their marriage, Anton and Sigri went into farming for themselves. They first settled on the land that later became the Paul Satrom farm where Morris Satrom presently lives. It was while Anton and Sigri were living here that their two oldest children, Peter and Alma were born. George Bjelverud was also living with them since he lost his mother when he was an infant. After a few years, Anton and Sigri moved one and a half miles west where they bought the land and built the farmstead 320 Scanned with a Zeutschel Zeta book scanner at 300 dpi.
