With his parents, Wier and Kari Birkestrand, he emigrated from Norway in the fall of 1849 and settled at Lisbon, Ill. In the fall of 1855 he came to Iowa and he settled in Story county between Cambridge and Huxley. He has been a resident of this same locality ever since 1855. In September, 1862 then 18 years of age, he enlisted as a soldier in the Civil war, and he was mustered in as a private Company K. 10th Regiment of Iowa Infantry of Volunteers.
