IN DISCUSSING NAMES
Vermont had its own problems with three.The name Mikkel must have been loved by mothers in Norway; so many families seemed to have one of them.When they came to America, the children of the Mikkels became Mickelsons.It was confusing in Vermont because there were four distinct families, entirely unrelated.
There were two Arne Mickelsons.One, Arne Glaghang* Mickelson, came from Begnedalen in Valdres and was the father of Martin and Ever and their sisters.The other, Arne Vasfaret Mickelson, came from Hedalen in Valdres and was the father of Andrew, Gabriel and Bertha.
Then there were Mikkel and Aagat Mickelson, from Sogn, Norway, parents of Mike Mickelson, who farmed the place where Jon Jurness and Bob and Edith Lickel presently live; bought the tavern in Black Earth.His children were Harry, Adolph, Arthur and Viola.
The father of Elliot Mickelson (Connie Goderstad's father), was Mikkel Mickelson, son of Mikkel Sukki (stepson of one of our earliest settlers, Halvor Bakken).
The Haugen name could be used bymany, since "Haugen" means hill.The Gladhaugen** Mickelson family were often called Haugen.

Andrew A. Mickelson
Andrew A. Mickelson, senior member of the firm of A. A. Mickelson & Co., dealers in lumber and building materials at Black Earth, was born at Vermont, Dane county, January 20, 1860. His parents, Arne and Carrie (Grove) Mickelson, were both born in Norway, married in their native land, and in 1849 came to America. They first settled at Blooming Grove, Dane county, but after one season there removed to Vermont. Here the father secured a tract of government land, which he improved and added to until he owned two hundred forty acres. From 1870 to 1875 the family lived at Mt. Horeb, where Mr. Mickelson's brother, Gabriel, is now engaged in the lumber business. They afterward removed to the farm where Mr. Mickelson's death occurred in 1889. His widow is still living, aged eighty-eight years, and makes her home with her son, Andrew A. Arne Mickelson was a consistent Republican in his political opinions, and in religious matters affiliated with the Lutheran church. Of the children born to him and his wife, Michael and Jorand are deceased; Bertha and Andrew A. are still living, the latter being the subject of this sketch. He received a fair education in the home schools, always lived at home with his parents, taking care of them in their declining years. In March, 1895, he entered the employ of the Patron Mercantile Company, in the village of Black Earth, and remained with that concern until the following January, when he bought his present business. The firm handles all kinds of building material, and also deals in flour, etc. In 1902 Mr. Mickelson sold the old home farm, and since then has devoted all his time and energies to his business. He is regarded as one of the successful men of the village, is a director of the state bank of Black Earth, and a member of the school board. Politically he is a Republican and has held several local offices, the duties of which he has discharged to the entire satisfaction of the electors. In church matters he has followed the faith of his parents and belongs to the Lutheran denomination. On November 10, 1883, Mr. Mickelson was united in marriage to Miss Mattie Bergine, a native of Norway, whose parents were Andrew and Mattie Bergine. To this marriage have been born the following children: Alfred, now with the Northern Electric Company, of Madison, in the capacity of bookkeeper; Carrie, deceased; Christina, at home; Carl, deceased; Carl and Bertha at home with their parents, and Emma, deceased.
