"They left Norway - April 16, 1882 by way of the Dominion line - a steam ship line - and came to Chicago - May 17 1882-The reason for the long trip was ice bergs and bad weather - some days they drifted back further at night than they had gone ahead in the day time - one day they tried to make a little better time and result was a collision with an ice berg that almost sank the boat - everybody had to go to the rear of the boat in order to get the front as far out of the water as possible - Sails were let down with weights as a temporary measure while the hole was being repaired. They were not so very far from Quebec when this happened. The boat was supposed to go to Montreal, but they were afraid to proceed any further than Quebec.. " "The reason for leaving Norway was the hope of getting along better here. We came to Chicago but moved a good deal - first to Aurora fo ra summer - back to Chicago for the winter - to Pullman the next summer - back again to Chicago - always going where the chances were best for work - Grandpa took out his first papers for citizenship in a short time, but lived only until 1/17/1886 - so you see he could not get his full citizenship. After his death mother went back to Norway in May 1886 with the intention of staying there, but came back in time to get us to school in the fall. Everything looked too dark for the future over there for a widow with 5 small children.".
