She was only 16 when she made the boat trip to America by herself. She couldn't speak or understand any English, and was always thankful that she arrived safely in Des Moines, as white slavery was very prevalent at the time. She lived with her sister, Martha Lund, for a while and then worked as a domestic for a wealthy Des Moines family. Later, she worked in Colfax for the parents of Norman Hall, the famous Iowa author, when he was a little boy. Anton and Carrie were the parents of five children: Edvin Theodor, who died in infancy; Alfred Wilhelm, deceased; Ruth Wilhelmina Johnson, deceased; Anna Mildred Norris, of Glendale, California; and Ellen Pauline Dennis, of Madrid, Iowa. They also raised a granddaughter, June Weidman Perrier of Madrid from infancy. They moved to Madrid in 1912, and engaged in farming for a few years. They then moved into town, where Anton did carpentry and worked on many Madrid homes.
