Andrew Madsen's Journal ~ Spring of 1863 - 1864

During the Spring a call was made for men and teams to go to Missouri after more emigrants, who would be there from foreign countries by the time they arrived.

Those called were Soren Jacobsen, Hoggan Anderson, John Josephsen, Martin Johnson, George Porter, Christian Jessen, Moroni Pratt and George Reynolds with Neils Madsen as guard.

O n October 20th, 1864 my wife gave birth to a girl and we named her Annie.  This made the fourth child in our family.

During the fall and winter there was a great deal of dancing.  Rasmus Frandsen and Perry McArthur were appointed the managers and conducted all the dances.  John Waldemar and James Hansen both played violins and furnished us the music,  they  having been our musicians since 1859.

It is exciting for us when someone comes to the Relic Home to do family research with the goal in mind to do a Family History Book.  They are always happy to find material at the Relic Home in the form of artifacts, pictures, obituaries and biographies.  After they have put together a wonderful family history and published it for their family, they always give us a copy in appreciation for what they learned there at the Relic Home.  The following was one of the first instances.  James W. Pyper did a family history that included that of his grandfather J. Axtel Bjelke and Mina Simpson Bjelke. Many of  us remember the Bjelkes.  This history is especially of interest to me (Kathy Hafen) because Axtel's brother Oscar was my maternal grandmother's third husband.  My mother had herself sealed to this line although Oscar was not her real father.  She lovingly called him "Uncle Oscar".
