Residence:
"Iver erected a house on his place and they all moved into it. This, however, was a mistake as the homestead laws then were that a son could live with his parents, but a father could not live with his son. This made it necessary to also build on Erick's homestead. It also became necwssary to spend some time at each place. So spring and fall became moving days for the next three years.
