The following is from the Lennox Diamond Jubilee Book. Among the surviving early settlers of Perry Township are Mr. and Mrs. Ole Ulberg who retired from their farming activities in 1918 and since have made their home in Lennox. Mr. Ulberg was born at Valdres, Norway, August 9, 1858. When he was only nine years of age his parents—accompanied by their two sons and one daughter, left their native land and embarked for the United States. They boarded a sailing vessel and when about 150 miles southwest of Ireland encountered a storm and were shipwrecked. They drifted back to within 50 miles of Ireland, the vessel then being towed up the mouth of the Shannon River by a small steamboat and to the harbor of Limbric where the vessel remained seven weeks undergoing repairs. Upon their immigration to the United States, the family reached Black Earth, Wis., August 9, 1868, and there made their home for eight years. In 1876 his parents again moved and continued westward, to take a homestead in the vast Dakota Territory. They came by railroad by way of St. Paul to Sheldon, lA. and then by team from the Iowa town to Canton, reaching there on May 27. With Mr. Ulberg (Ole) locating the site for his parents to file their claim, on June 13, 1876 the father, Andrias Ulberg, took a homestead two and one-half miles northeast of now Lennox. Here Mr. Ulberg resided for 42 years, until he and Mrs. Ulberg retired from their active duties 21 years ago. Mrs. Ulberg, nee Mary Hilman, is also a native of Valdres, Norway, where she was born August 24, 1858. She grew to womanhood in her native land, and in the spring of 1882, in company with her sister, came to America and located at Canton (Dakota Territory). There she was employed at The Merchant's Hotel and Harlan House for a few years and then went to St. Paul, where she worked for four years. Upon her return she was married to Ole Ulberg, June 15, 1887, and together with her husband endured the trials of pioneer life. Mrs. Ulberg is the only surviving member of the Hilman family which included three daughters and one son. Eight children were born to this union, two having gone to their reward. Children presently surviving and all residing in this community, read as follows: Mrs. Ed Musch, Mrs. Edward Hofer, Mrs. Arnold Schneiderman, Melvin, John and Clarence Ulberg. There are also three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mr. Ulberg, now in his 81st year is still highly active and displays attentive interest in current affairs. Being only 17 years of age when he came to this territory, he was unable to homestead; however he selected the farm on which his parents filed, and which he purchased following his marriage. Mr. Ulberg served on the Perry township board for 24 years, and he was also treasurer of school district No. 67 for 32 consecutive years. He has two brothers living, John of Sioux Falls and Martin of Rowena, Calif. Also one sister, resides in Norway.
