She emigrated to America in 1848 with her parents. Her first marriage was to Lars Mikkelsen Holehaug with whom she had a son, Mikkel. Lars died soon after, leaving Brita a widow. Brita’s second husband was Aslak lverson. Aslak also had been married before and had a son, Iver Aslak Iverson. Aslak was born in Norway and came to America in 1854. Aslak was born l5 August 1827. Brita and Aslak had two other sons: Lars, (aka Lewis A.) born 13 September 1858 in Dane County, Wisconsin. Jacob G. was born later in South Dakota. The family moved to South Dakota in 1859 settling first in Vermillion Township and three years later to Norway Township, both being in Clay County. Aslak is mentioned as a prominent pioneer in the early settlements of South Dakota. Aslak had been a teacher in Norway so he held the first school sessions among the settlers in Norway Township and they were of a religious nature. He held small classes in various homes, without pay, and taught the children the English language and a little reading and arithmetic. The religious instruction kept alive Old World traditions of the parochial school. Aslak had a good singing voice so he also had a singing class and would lead the devotional exercises in the log houses. Brita and Aslak's home was a noted center of attraction and the neighbors often gathered there. Aslak was held in high esteem by his fellow citizens and served as a county commissioner for three terms. Besides being a farmer, he owned and operated a flour mill and two saw mills. Aslak died 3 December 1889 at the age of 62 years. Brita’s death date is unknown at this time, but she was still living in 1905 as the census that year lists her as being 85 years old. by Helen Stiklestad
