TOSTEN ANDERSON FAMILY
Tosten Anderson was born in Valers, Norway, in 1860, and came to the U.S. as a young boy with his family. In 1882 he filed homestead in Dundee Township where he farmed until his death in 1939.
Johanna Christopherson was born in Sogn, Norway, in 1870. At 16, she immigrated to the United States. She spent several years working for an uncle who had paid her fare. Johanna died in 1949 after being confined to a wheelchair for many years. She was an inspiration to those who knew her because of her courageous acceptance of her affliction.
On March 31, 1893, Tosten and Johanna were married. They had a family of six sons and two daughters-Elmer, Julia, Bennie, Melford, Clarence (died in childhood), Clara, Henry and Theodore. They were active members of the Park Center Lutheran Church where Johanna was a charter member of the Ladies' Aid. Submitted by Francis Letness.

Hello,
I am looking for the mother of Mabel Victoria Christopherson b.1913 in Swansea, who married a Richard WILKINSON. Her father was Herbert Alfred Christopherson and has died. They lived in the Fleetwood area of Lancashire. I believe her mother was a KELLY.
If any of these names have crossed your path I am very interested. Unfortunately, Mabel's only sister, Evelyn, has passed away. I have considerable info. on Evelyn's descenants if you are associated with them.
Thanks for your time,
Ted
