Endre Johanson Vasgaard came to Lennox in 1879 as an immigrant from Kristiansund, Norway. His ticket for the trip was sent him by his aunt, Martha Vasgaard, who had worked for some time at Elk Point. He worked on the Milwaukee railroad that was being built through Lennox at that time, and later bought a right to a homestead, three miles southeast of Lennox, the southeast quarter of section nine. His aunt, Martha Vasgaard, later made her home with him, until the time of her death in 1890. Mr. Vasgaard married Anna Egge of Decorah, IA., October 19, 1889. The marriage ceremony was performed in the groom's home. In 1890 their eldest child, Helen (now Mrs. Thomas Haugen of Decorah, IA.) was born. In 1891 they sold the homestead and bought the northwest quarter of section 14, and northeast quarter of section 15, in Turner Township, Turner County, near Davis, where the couple resided several years. Four children were born to this union there. These were: John Edgar, who lives on the home place; Mrs. Charles (Emelie) Lauritzen of Reddick, IL. Mrs. Leo (Magdelena) Sophy of near Davis, and Mrs. Fred (Myrtle) Jory of Sioux Falls. Both Mr. and Mrs. Vasgaard were born in Norway, spending their earlier years in the surroundings of their native country, and until their subsequent immigrations to the United States. In 1915, Mr. and Mrs. Endre Vasgaard moved to Sioux Falls, where they spent their remaining years. Mrs. Vasgaard preceded her husband in death, succumbing in June, 1929, and Mr. Vasgaard in January, 1932.
