Hi Debra, Found some more info for you. This is from the book "History of Anoka County Minnesota" Jesperson "Ole Jesperson (deceased)was born in Norway Aug 26, 1845. Came to America in 1867, reaching St. Paul July 10 of that year. settled on a farm in Ham Lake in 1874, where he lived up to the time of his death. He served on the board of supervisors about half the time he lived there and as county commissioner from the forth district from Jan 1, 1895, to Jan 1,1899. Married Lena Peterson July 9, 1870. Children: Peter W, Jesper B. ( Cedar), Andrew W. (Lindstrom, Chisago Co.), Emma, Melville A and an adopted daughter, Olga. Mr. Jesperson died March 11, 1902." Will see what else I can find. Peggy
