In the spring of 1859, being then 20yrs. old, he arrived in United States with $10. On May 17, 1862, at Oskaloosa, Iowa, Mr. Kalsem was united in marriage to Miss Martha Cleveland of Norway, daughter of Ole and Martha Knutzen. He brought his bride to Story county and took up his home on 80acres of land in Palestine township. From year to year he purchased more until he owned 500 acres in Story county. About 1902 he retired and removed to Huxley, where he is now living. He has divided his land among his children but is sure of a liberal income during the remainder of his life, being also a stockholder in the Farmers Savings bank. They had nine children born, five of whom are now living: 1. Severt J., a farmer of Palestine township; 2. Ole, also a farmer of Palestine township; 3. Martha, the wife of Ole B. Olson; 4. Mary A., now Mrs. Knute Nelson, of Polk county; 5. John F., who is living at home. Mr. Kalsem has served most acceptably as township trustee and member of the school board. He and his estimable wife are connected with the Lutheran church and are earnest workers in its behalf. [Source in the public domain: "History of Story County" by O. W.
