1900 US Federal Census: Anton Erickson Family

By 1900, Johanna was living with her daughter Anna's family in Decorah Township. Anna had married Anton Erickson in 1896. Apparently Anna's brother, Henry, was also living with them and helping with the farm.

It is interesting that the record shows Johanna arrived in the USA in 1866 as we have no other records showing where Arne, Johanna, and their family were living from 1851 until then.

Anna HUSEBY (1870-1946)

According to the records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Anna was born at home ("by her father" apparently) on 20 Jul 1870 and was baptized as Anna Johanneson HUSEBY on 6 Nov 1870. Anna's sponsors were her uncle and his wife, Johannes and Kirsti HUSEBY, and her grandparents, Marthe and Nils Katterud. Marthe married Nils after the death of her first husband, Johan Evensen HUSEBY.
