Biography* FROM A CONVERSATION WITH OUR MOTHER
MAY THOMPSON HANSEN WICK (MARIT TOBIASDATTER)
ON SEPTEMBER 15, 1979

Mother was born in Steivang, Norway, on August 13, 1887. For some reason her
mother used August 12 as her birth date and Mother has continued to use this
date. She was the youngest of nine brothers and sisters. Most of her
brothers and sisters had left the home place by the time she was born. It was
hard to support a big family and was not unusual when a child was eight years
old or so that they were taken in by neighboring families to work for room and
board while they went to school.

Their home was a simple log cabin. All cooking was done in the fireplace.
They ate mostly potatoes, herring and fish - very little meat. They had a
vegetable garden and a cow. Her mother baked bread in a pan under the
fireplace. They had to walk seven miles each way to Lille elvedalen to buy
staples like coffee, sugar, etc. Her father didn't have much steady work. He
worked at a mine - not a miner but something to do with tools.

Mother doesn't remember having any special toys as a child. She had rag dolls
made of yarn and material. She did have a cat which she called Pisse - which
means female cat in Norwegian. She was a loving cat, loved Mother and Mother
loved her. Pisse slept with her all the time. She got under the covers and
was nice and warm - Mother was cold sometimes. Mother's bed was under her
mother's - a trundle bed. They ate at a table that could be raised up and
fastened against the wall. Mother's place was on what was probably the brace
against the wall and raised her up even with the table - really above it. The
room was small. Her mother had a weave stool. She spun the yarn and wove
material for everything they wore. They didn't have any sheep - probably
traded with others for the wool. She remembers when she went to school she
had two dresses, both alike, both green. One was for Sunday, the other for
everyday.

When Mother was about six years old her father became very sick with cancer of
the mouth. The doctor wanted him to move closer to him so he could see him
oftener. So they moved to Lille elvedalen where her father got work making
harnesses. He lived only a year or so after that. Her mother owed the doctor
a lot of money. The doctor wasn't married, and to help pay him she went to
worked for him, cooked and kept house, and Mother, of course, could be with
her. All the other children were still with other families or married. In
fact her sister Judith had gone to America when Mother was a baby, and her
brother Andrew left for there when she was about tow. They went to America to
make a living - there wasn't much chance for them in Norway.

Her mother always had hand work. Whenever she went out she carried her
knitting with her, with the yarn pinned to the waist of her dress. She made
gloves and mittens with beautiful embroidery on them. When the doctor got
married his wife had her make her a skirt for skiing. She knit the whole
skirt out of black yarn with this beautiful embroidery all around. Her mother
was pretty smart but didn't have much chance - couldn't write very much as she
hadn't had much schooling.

When Mother was about twelve years old they moved to Hamar, which was a fairly
large city. They went there because Mother's sister Sigrid was there. Sigrid
was a very good dressmaker and her husband was a locomotive engineer. They
had a nice apartment and there was an extra room in the building for them.
Later her brother Johannes came and lived there too. It wasn't an apartment
building like we have here. There was one bathroom for all the people in the
building. Her mother got work for a doctor and minister, doing washing and
ironing and keeping house. She supported them that way. She was so well
liked and people were awfully good to them. They were poor but Mother can't
ever remember being unhappy. Mother got hand-me-down clothes from the
children of the people her mother worked for.

Mother was confirmed in the state church in Hamar. She finished grade school
and her teacher wanted her to learn more and helped her to get free tuition to
what was called continuation school. She went to that one year. It was like
high school. She also got a three month course in bookkeeping and arithmetic.
Arithmetic was her favorite subject and she was good at it.

Her mother saved money for them to go to America. It cost $50 for them to go
from Norway to Stanley, Wisconsin. That was a lot of money then. Mother's
sister Bertina, her husband, and their six month old baby, Connie, came with
them. Mother was sixteen years old. This was in 1903. In their trunk was
her mother's spinning wheel. Also the Singer sewing machine, a hand machine
which Sigrid had bought and which might probably still be in use someplace!

She and her mother lived with Mother's sister Judith in Stanley, Wisconsin.
Her mother helped midwives and took care of new babies - she was good at that.
Everybody wanted her so she always had places to go. Judith was a fine
dressmaker but a terrible housekeeper. Mother got busy and made the beds,
swept and scrubbed the kitchen because she thought it looked just awful. But
Judith was so well liked, so jolly, and people came in all the time to see
her. Everyone wanted her to sew for them. She was very good.

Mother's brother Andrew lived in Enderlin, North Dakota. She hadn't seen him
since she was two years old. He came to Stanley and because she would have a
chance to got to school she went back with him to Enderlin. Her sister Judith
was very upset that Andrew was going to take Mother away from her. She would
miss the housework that she had been doing. They had come to Stanley in May
and it was maybe a couple of months later that she left with Andrew for North
Dakota.

Mother got in with a family of Norwegian descent, very nice. He was the
mayor. Mother did all kinds of housework. She went to school one full year
and part of another, starting in first grade. The kids said: "Sixteen years
old and in first grade!" She moved through the grades quickly and finished in
seventh grade. She didn't have to take a lot of subjects. What she wanted
most was to learn the language. Her teacher was of Norwegian descent also so
she was able to help her. She stayed in with Mother at recess to do this.
She was very good to her.

In Norway her name was Tobiasdatter, her brother in Stanley, Wisconsin, took
the name Steivang, and Andrew took the name Thompson - close to Tobiasson, his
name in Norway. Andrew had her take the name Thompson, like his, and because
she didn't like the name Mary, which her real name Marit was close to, she
took the name May. So from then on she was May Thompson.

Mother decided to go back to Stanley, Wisconsin. She got work in the General
Store there. She had a relative in Spring Valley, Wisconsin, a second cousin,
Christine Hokenson, who was going to Minneapolis to work. She had been there
before. Mother decided to go with her. She didn't have a job or anything in
sight, but they went and she was happy. Her mother was still in Stanley,
staying with Mother's sister Bertina now. She supported herself, took care of
Bertina's children, and then helped other women. There were always a lot of
new babies.

Mother first worked in a private boarding house when she came to Minneapolis,
as a dining room girl. She got the job through Christine Hokenson. She
waited on table, brought the food out, etc. It was at 1117 Hawthorne Avenue -
all automobile places now. It was a private boarding house, had office
people, real nice people. Everyone was so nice to her. Later she worked in
the piece goods department at Powers Department Store.

Mother did have many boyfriends. One of them was a jeweler. He gave her a
bracelet and he wanted to marry her. In the meantime, however, she met our
father. He had come from Norway in 1907. Then between the two she didn't
know which one she like the best, so she decided she wasn't going to marry
anyone! But she did marry our father - and she was never sorry.

Before they were married and while she was working at Powers Department Store,
she had a room with another girl. One day the landlady called her at work and
said: "There's a sewing machine delivered to you - it has your name." Mother
told her no, she didn't order a sewing machine and that it must be a mistake.
But it was a gift from our father. She made good use of it. She made all the
pillow cases, sheets and curtains for their future home, and of course sewed
all her dresses too. In grade school in Norway children were taught to sew,
knit, crochet, embroider, etc.

Their first home was in the upstairs of a home at 2909 Bloomington Avenue
South in Minneapolis. She did not work after they were married because to
stay home and keep house was what you were supposed to do. She was a
housewife for a full year. Mother thinks now that was so "dumb" as they could
have been saving towards their own home and other things they wanted. She
just didn't have enough to do at home and decided to go back to Powers and see
if she could work there again. The superintendent was a funny guy, Mother
said - he was always chewing his tongue! - and immediately he asked her -
"Oh, is something wrong!" A married woman wanting to work again must have
trouble with her marriage!

Our Father was born in Nordland, Norway. He had come to America in 1907. He
had several sisters, one brother. His sister, Laura, and brother, Rolf, had
also come to America. In Norway the family living was made from fishing,
which he didn't like. He didn't like to go on the ocean. After his
compulsory military service he went to school and learned the tailoring trade.
This was his work in America. In those days there was piece work. Some
tailors made coats, some vests, others pants, etc. He was a coatmaker and
earned so much for each coat. He taught Mother how to make buttonholes and
she was able to help him.

They built their first home before Evelyn was born. Our Father worried about
building this home when they found out a baby was coming. They had been
married about four years then. But they got along fine. They had started the
home with only $200 cash. This was at 3613 - 16th Avenue South in
Minneapolis. Evelyn was born there in 1914. At this time they asked Mother's
mother to come and live with them. Bertina's husband (Brandvold) had died and
because her mother did not have much work now she didn't feel she should stay
with her any longer. She was with them until she died seven years later.

They lived in this first house from 1913 to 1918 when they sold it and built
the house at 4025 - 17th Avenue South, Minneapolis, when Winston was born.
They had bought the lot from our Father's sister, Laura. The house cost
something like $3000 - a little more. They had it all paid for in just a few
years.

Then our Father contracted encephalitis (sleeping sickness they called it).
Mother says there was a lot of it at that time. The doctor (Dr. Tingdale)
had her call a specialist. He couldn't predict the outcome so couldn't give
much hope. It was a difficult time as Mother was pregnant. Father lived less
than a year, and Alfred Maynard, named for him, was born five months later.
Mother was thankful the house was paid for before he died. They had planned
after that to buy a piano for Evelyn (they didn't buy anything until they had
the money). But they didn't get to do it. (Mother did buy one several years
later).

Mother used the $2000 insurance money she received to make a very nice
apartment out of the roomy attic in the house. With income from that, plus
piece-work making buttonholes for a tailor and piece work embroidery of baby
dresses, she was able to support the three children and herself. For a time
she also took in two newcomers from Sweden as roomers. Later she acquired a
rug weaving loom and for many years she wove rag rugs. Through word of mouth
and an occasional ad she had many customers who brought their bags or boxes of
rolled up balls or rag strips for her to make into nice rugs for them. The
loom was in the basement and she spent many many hours down there. She worked
hard.

Alfred Maynard contracted diptheria when he was three years old. Mother also
did and when this little son died Mother couldn't even attend his funeral.

Torill Steivang writes: I have been planning to email you for quite a while - to tell you what I found in the archives... I grabbed a box - at random one among some 30 boxes from the Nord-Østerdal bailiff's arhives in the 1800's - and paged through the documents just to see if there was anything interesting - for example a familiar name or place. Then I suddenly saw the name Engebret Torbersen Fløtningen... your g-g-grandfather! I made copies and brought them home to read it properly. It turned out to be a rather interesting story. Poor man, he was 60, had no money, he cut a pinetree (only one single tree!) and made baking troughs to sell. The problem was he cut the tree without permission, the owner was Røros Copper Works. As if they didn't have enough trees... they owned huge areas of forests for miles around Røros. However, there was a trial and Engebret was sentenced to 10 days in prison.
ONE single tree!! He actually had to go to the prison on Christmas Eve, in Rendalen, miles and miles from his home at Fløtningen. This was in 1852.

Biography* Bygdebok For Engerdal:

Farm No. 23/1 SKRIVERGARDEN (The Smelting Master's Farm)

It was here that Roros Works built a farm for smelting works master
Fredrik Skancke, when Drevsjo Smelting Works was founded in 1817-20. He
probably first lived at Southern Drevsjomoen, which later came under
Skrivergarden. He was a son of smelting works master at Femund Smelting
Works, Peder Skancke and his wife Juditta Ramberg, who both died at
Femund Smelting Works. Fredrik Skancke was a twin brother of Andreas
Skancke. Fredrik Skancke was married to Ragnhild Tronsdatter, and to
start with became the smelting works master succeeding his father at
Femund Smelting works, but in 1817 moved to Drevsjo. When the smelting
works here was discontinued in 1834, he was moved again, then to Lovisa
Smelting Works in Alvdal. His first wife died in 1831, and after
settling her estate in 1831, he had assets of 5,998 spd...an enormous
fortune under the circumstances here at the time. In 1829 he had
purchased Sletmoen in Engerdal (Nordi and Gammeljordet) at a forced sale
(auction) at Embret Olsen's place there - for 600 daler. He had also
purchased some mountain land and woods towards the south from Hogna on
the Swedish side, but sold the latter to his son-in-law, Embret
Torbersen, and two or three others at Flotningen, in any case he sold
most of it. It is possible that his son, Peder, used some hayfields in
Rodalen by Nysetra. Fredrik Skancke sold Sletmoen for 600 daler to Per
Persen N. Husfloen from Vestues in Heggeriset by deed of conveyance in
1836, recorded in 1842.

Fredrik Skancke got married again, the same year his first wife died
(dates are at odds here) to Marit Olsdatter Brandsnes from Folldalen.
His daughter, Barbro, from the first marriage died that year of 1831,
after having eaten mezereon (Daphne Meserium). Mezereon is a poisonous
plant growing in shady side valleys, for instance in Lekjenndalen by the
Engersjo (Enger Lake). The berries are by a cluster of leaves on the
middle of the stem, resemble stone bramble, and both the berry and bark
as well as the leaves are poisonous.

Fredrik Skancke was capable, but also strict, and perhaps there were
some who did not like him very much. It was told that one of them came
in to see him greeting him this way: "Good day, Mr. smelting works
master Knoke!" ("knoke" = knuckle or soup bone). "My name is not Knoke,
but Skancke," he replied in a gruff way. "Yes, excuse me, I knew it had
to do with something about cattle," the man supposedly said. (This does
not need to be a correct characterization of the smelting works master.)

others list 1804.

According to Sevilhaug, after she was first married, Juditta lived at Ovre
(Upper) Galten, but shortly thereafter she went to Sweden and settled at
Flotningen in Idre.
