HAVICK Accomplishments of those of our citizens who are of foreign birth and who have left the shores of their native land and sought Fortune's favor successfully in this land of opportunity are always interesting from an economic point of view and on account of the inspiration which the perusal of the story of their careers furnishes to the coming generations. What one has done, another can do, is a time~tried and truthful maxim which for centuries has been the incentive for man to put forth his best efforts. Ever since America has been the land of the free it has been the. Mecca for the ambitious sons of foreign countries, and no people of foreign birth have been more welcome to our shores than the sturdy and thrifty sons of Norway. Andrew Havick of Lincoln township is a Norwegian by birth but an American citizen since attaining his majority and a very successful one from a utilitarian point of view. Rising from poverty to the position of a man' of substance he can now view his broad acres over which his herds of sleek cattle are grazing and truly feel that he has accomplished a great deal since he arrived in this country to make his own fortune. Andrew Havick, son of Anderson and Bertha (Johnson) Havick, was born in Norway, December 15, 1848. His father was a missionary of the Lutheran belief in Norway and followed this profession after he emigrated to America in 1888. He came here and located in Story county, Iowa, and from this point did extended missionary work in Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and South Dakota. He continued in this useful line of Christian endeavor and spread the Gospel until just a few years before his death. He was the father of five children: John, Andrew A., Gorena, Henry and Sarah. John died in Slater, Iowa. Gorena married S. 0. Anderson. Henry is residing in Nebraska. Sarah is the wife of Michael Birkelan. The father of these children was born May 30, 1823 and died January 30, 1909. The mother was born in 1817 and died in October of 1894. Andrew Havick was educated in the schools of his native land and worked out as a farm hand until he was twenty years of age. In 1868 he emigrated to America and located in Benton county, Iowa, where he worked at farm labor for two years and then went to Story county and worked for another two years. In 1873 he came to Shelby county and broke prairie land for a few seasons and was thus enabled to purchase eighty acres of land at twelve dollars and fifty cents per acre. By hard work, judicious selection of crops and the exercise of native thrift and economy he has been enabled to accumulate a considerable estate of three hundred and twenty acres of fine land in Lincoln township. He does general farming and stock raising and feeds the most of his grain to live stock on the place. He cultivates about one hundred and thirty acres of corn and about fifty acres of small grain. The output of his farm in live stock will exceed one hundred head of hogs and thirty to forty head of cattle annually. At the present time he has about fifty head of cattle. For the past twelve years he has been a breeder of Shorthorn cattle and has a fine herd of thirty head of pure breds on his farm. Mr. Havick was married December 26, 1874, to Adele Munsun, and to this union have been born nine children: Lillie, Frank, Lester, Minor, William, Roy, Bertha, Lake, Ruth. Lillie is the wife of Frank Fenton, of Lincoln township and is the mother of two children, Irene and Thelma. Frank married Essie Bryan and has eight children. Gladys, Claude, Esther, Mabel, Harold, Helen, Glynn and an infant. Lester married Pearl Anderson. William is deceased. Minor, who resides in Lincoln township, wedded Edna Copeland and has one child, Jean. Bertha, Lake and Ruth are at home with their parents. Roy married Bessie Findley and has one child, Geneate. Mrs. Havick was the daughter of Minor and Isabell Munsun, natives of Norway, as is Mrs. Havick, who was born there February 29, 1855. Her father was born in ____ and died in 1882. Her mother died in 1864. Her parents were farmer folks in Norway. In 1855 Mr. Munsun came to America with his family and located in Illinois where he rented a farm for several years and then invested his savings in a farm of his own. Minor Munsun and wife were the parents of seven children: Kelly; Andrew, deceased; Bertha; Peter; Adele; Dora; Louis. Kelly lives in Chicago. Andrew is dead. Bertha married Jacob Watland. Peter lives near Irwin. Dora married Elmer, Hartman. Louis lives in Indiana. Mr. Havick is religiously affiliated with the Lutheran church as are the other members of the family. While not taking a very active part in political affairs he usually votes the Republican ticket and believes in the principles of the Republican party. Since 1875, Mr. Havick has resided on his present farm which is one of the best improved in this section of the state and boasts one of the finest residences in the county. He has placed over twelve thousand dollars worth of improvements on the place and is widely known as a substantial and progressive farmer. 1915 Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa, pages 1454~1456
