Notes from Richard Jorgensen:

When Iver (Ivar) and Margrethe were first married, they lived in Bindslev, where he was a baker. It was necessary for them to move to the country because of his health, so soon after that the family moved from Bindslev and lived near Spariwong. Later they moved to a farm three miles from Hjorring in Klastrup County. Richard remembers his parents telling that while moving to Hjorring with a team and wagon with very narrow wheels, they upset. The attended a Lutheran Church in the country. They had an aunt that lived at Bindslev and Grandma, Margrethe's mother, lived at Halerslew Slesvig with her son Thomas, who had never married. The children used to walk that one and one-half miles to visit Grandma. (4 U.S. miles = 1 Danish mile, so it was 6 to 7 miles). Their uncle drove a milk wagon sometimes.

On the farm near Hjorring, the family milked from 6 to 8 cows and had a few pigs. They raised a number of different things on the farm.Their grains were oats, barley and rye, which grew well in the humid climate. All threshing was done by hand with a flail, and the grain was not sold but was used to feed the livestock and to make bread. Alfalfa and timothy were raised for hay. They also raised mengles, a root crop similar to beets, for feed. In the fall some of the harvested crops were kept in the barn and the rest was stacked in the field, covered with straw and a light covering of dirt. Father, along with other farmers, took his turn at driving the milk "truck" since no special driver was hired.

The family decided they wanted to leave Denmark and go to the United States. Chris, Oscar and Richard, then 15 years old, left first. In March 1910 they sailed from Copenhagen on the ship, Titcan. A stop was made at Kristiana, now Oslo, Norway. The trip took two weeks and at one time included a three-day storm. Richard was fortunate not to be seasick since most everyone else was having a terrible time. They landed in New York later that month and from there went by train to Chicago to visit their mother's two sisters, Sophia and Albrina. They had married brothers. Jacob and Albrina had one adopted girl and Ferdinand and Sophia had a large family. Albrina took them all over Chicago for ten cents each on the street cars. They stayed there about two weeks and then took the train to Erwin, South Dakota where their dad's sister, Ann Marie and her daughter, Hanna Christensen, lived. The daughter was engaged to a carpenter, Chris Hojrup. Oscar and Richard worked for a cousin on his farm at DeSmit, and Chris worked for another farmer. They raised cattle, corn, barley and oats. Richard thought South Dakota was the most beautiful place and hoped to return there to live. He never did.

Later in 1910, after selling the farm in Denmark, Iver, Margrethe,and the rest of their children also left their homeland and sailed to the United States to live. They first went to South Dakota where the boys were working. There, Iver worked on farms owned by some bankers in a Norwegian settlement. Hearing that there was free land to be obtained in Montana, Iver made the trip to look over the prospects and found land near Sidney. So in the fall of 1911, most of the family moved to Montana. They had an 80 acre farm north of Sidney that was what they called "under the ditch", which meant that it was irrigated. Later their son Axel and his wife Violet and their daughter Dorothy lived on that farm. In later years it was sold Oscar Johnson and the parents moved to Sidney. The farm was then sold to the Baileys. The present (1998) owner is Einer Conradson.

Narrative

This note is from Beverly Peterson's family tree:

From Esther Jorgensen Pritchard, December 1996:

Did you know that my father took a homestead in Montana. It came about because those who had filed on one hundred and sixty (160) acres before the Reclamation Service dammed the Yellowstone River (at Intake) and brought irrigation to the (Lower Yellowstone Valley) valley, but had not completed the improvements required to obtain a deed to the land, had to give up one-half of the claim. Dad filed on one of those eighty (80)acre plots on which there was a barn and a one-room log house with a root cellar underneath for storing potatoes, carrots, onions and other homegrown crops for the winter. He then rented a farm with a two-story house where we lived while he farmed both places.

Before I started school, he had a house built on the homestead and met all of the requirements to get a deed to the land. This was about one-half mile north of the one room schoolhouse where John, Axel and I went to school. There were kids from six to eighteen, as most of the boys were kept out of school during spring planting and fall harvesting, so it took them a long time to finish eighth grade, if ever. The teacher was responsible for keeping the room warm with a large coal-burning heater near the back of the room.

Obituary from Luthersk Ugeblad (Lutheran Weekly):

Some words of memory concerning deceased, Iver Jorgensen, Sidney, Montana.

The above named was born in Bindslov County, Vendsynnel, Denmark in1859, and immigrated in the year of 1906 to the United States together with his wife and seven children. They settled for three or four years in South Dakota, but moved from there to Sidney, Montana, where they bought a farm six miles north of town. Here they lived until a few months ago, when, because of Mr. and Mrs. Jorgensen's age and physical weaknesses, they moved to town. This was not home very long for Mr. Jorgensen. On September fifth he had a heart attack and death suddenly ended his active life...........................

We will long remember the Cottage Meetings where he was asked to close in prayer. How he would sincerely pray to the Lord, his God and Father, confessing his sins and his unworthiness, but also with thanksgiving and praise for God's never-ending great grace and love which is shown to mankind through Jesus Christ our Lord.

His seventy year old wife feels the loss of a dear husband of over forty years, but finds comfort in the fact that soon they will be united in God's Paradise.

Pastor P.C. Jensen conducted the funeral services. (Pella Lutheran Church). A large number of people, both Danish and American, were thereto pay their last tribute to the deceased. Blessed be the memory of Iver Jorgensen amongst us.
