Noted events in her life were:
• Notes. John married Stine Marie Johnson who, with her mother Martha (Marta) and brother Peter (Peder), came to America in 1862 from the parish of Hauske and settled in Minnesota. Stine's brother Lars came to America in 1853 and her brother Syvert in 1854. The Hauske parish is on the island of Rennesøy, about ten miles north of Stavanger. Their family farm name was Kroken, a tenant farm owned by the farm Hauske. Stine's father, Johannes Pederson Kroken, died in Norway in 1860. The family had been fishermen and farmers. Ed Tomte recalls hearing how Great Grandmother Martha would tell about sorting the fish on a bed of straw after each day's catch.
Martha, who was alert and active until the time of her death at almost 100 years, had a keen sense of humor and was always laughing and joking. She kept busy, even in her later years, knitting mittens and boots. The knit boots she wore around the house in place of shoes. She never lost interest in children. Those in our family even remember how she would feed Lester Larson (born May 1907) by first chewing the food well herself and then feeding him. This was an old Norwegian custom among the people who got their bread from coarse grains. In America, Martha often stayed with her daughter and son-in-law Stine and John Larson. She is listed with Stine and John in the 1870, 1875, 1880, and 1900 census.
After they were married, John and Stine acquired a homestead about three miles north of Mabel in Newberg Township. This is where some of their children were born. One son Louis, who was born in 1863 and died in 1870, is buried in the cemetery 1/2 mile west of the Dayton Corner (North Scheie Cemetary). According to Ed Tomte there was a Batania Lutheran Church at this site. ***Change?*** Nels Nessa, John N. Johnson and Mrs. Louis Aygarn's father were preachers in this church. In about 1871 John and Stine moved to Preble Township to the farm across the road from the Choice Cemetery. This is where the children grew up.
Stine's brother Sivert Johnson and his family lived near by on the homestead now occupied by Lester Larson. Sivert was married to Betsy Breta Horland who was born in Bergen, Norway in 1844. She died in 1931.
Stine's brother Lars Johnson, with whom Martha, his mother, later made her home, moved his family to Montevideo, Minn. after having farmed on what is now known as the Maland farm near Highland Prairie for several years. Ed Tomte remembered the family. It is believed that his decendents live in the Lake Mills and Forest City, Iowa area as well as around Montevideo where Martha is buried.
Stine's brother Peder Johnson moved to Mt. Valley township northeast of Forest City, Iowa in 1876 and became a wealthy farmer. About 1897 he and his family moved to Forest City, Iowa. [Bruce 2006]
