See father Lar's sketch and obit below It was in June 1884, that Lars and Britta Maurseth Miklethun and children, Jacob, John, Anna, Rena and Oscar bid their loved ones an emotional farewell in Eidfjord Hardanger, Norway (never to return). This family then set sail on the "Thingvalla", braving the elements for a voyage to span the mighty Atlantic Ocean, bound for America and a new life. What a reassuring sight the harbor of New York must have been to this weary, often seasick family after having been tossed to and fro on the ocean for 14 1/2 days. After having been more properly fed, and duly processed by immigration proceedings, this family boarded a train westward, arriving in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, on July 15, 1884. There they stayed with friends a few days and then again traveled by train to a cousin, Easten Rice at Bruce (Brookings County), South Dakota. Here they filed for 80 acres and two years later sold it to buy 160 acres and established a permanent home. Lars Jacobson Miklethun was born in Eidfjord, Hardanger Norway, February 9, 1848. His early years were spent on the Micklethun farm in Norway and he was baptized and confirmed in that country. On May 6, 1871 he married Britha Asbjornsdatter Maureseth and together they have spent a long and happy wedded life. They came to American in 1884 and more children were born here. The widow survives him. Mr. Miklethun was 35 years old at the time when he came to this country. He lived at Fergus Falls for a time and then moved to Wisconsin. Mr. Miklethun later located near Brookings, South Dakota, where he made his home for 17 years. Twenty years he left Brookings County, South Dakota and located in Dover Township, Griggs, County, North Dakota, where he lived until last fall when he and his wife came to Blair to spend the winter with their son, Anton. He had intended to return to North Dakota but a Devine Providence willed otherwise He died Monday morning March 6 at 7:30 o’clock of acute diabetes. He was 74 years old.
