• W4379804900 abstract "THE NORWEGIAN QUAKERS OF MARSHALL COUNTY, IOWA BY H . F. SWANSEN Iowa holds an important place in the history of the Norwegian- American Quakers, for a large number of the adherents of that religious society located within its boundaries. The first of these Friends who came to the Hawkeye State settled in Lee County, in the southeastern corner of the state. Here in the well known Sugar Creek community, Ommund Olson in 1842 built a meetinghouse, which, according to one authority, was the first house of worship erected by Norse Friends in America.1 Norwegian Quakers also moved into other parts of Iowa; Henry, Mahaska, and Benton counties, for example. While these movements are interesting and important in tracing the spread of Norse settlements in the state, the meetings or congregations with which these immigrants affiliated were not Norwegian speaking. Besides, the number of Norwegians in these counties was small. The settlement in Marshall County, however, is significant as well as unique, for it became the largest center of Norwegian Quakerism in the United States. Furthermore, the meeting established there was Norwegian speaking. The first Norse Friend to take up his abode in Marshall County was S^ren Oleson, who settled near the town of Le Grand in 1858. This sturdy immigrant was a native of Stavanger, Norway, the center of Quakerism in that country and the city from which the first Norwegian emigrants of the nineteenth century embarked. Weary of the persecution to which he was subjected on account of his refusal to bear arms, he emigrated in the fall of 1854, when he was twenty1 John F.

He tarried at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, until the spring of 1855, when he set out for the Sugar Creek settlement in Lee County, Iowa, where several Norwegian Quakers had already established homes. During the same year Oleson moved to the Friends community at Salem in Henry County, which adjoined Lee to the northwest. Here on September 22, 1858, he married Anna C. Ravnaas. As members of the Salem Meeting of Friends, the Olesons made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McCool, who owned a farm near Le Grand in Marshall County. Since Mrs. McCool was a minister in the Society of Friends, she and her husband traveled extensively. Unable to give personal attention to the many duties of his farm, McCool engaged Oleson for the work. Thus in 1858 S0ren Oleson and his wife migrated to Marshall County and they lived on the McCool farm for several years. Oleson then moved to a piece of land which he had previously purchased and made this his home. This was near Quarry, a community not far from Le Grand. Finding the soil fertile and the climate congenial, the Olesons soon wrote to friends about their attractive new home. In 1859 an old neighbor, Thore Heggem, came direct from Norway with his family and settled south of Le Grand. Before leaving his native land Heggem had been a member of the Stavanger Meeting of Friends. Two years later Christian Gimre with his family moved to Marshall County after a residence of several years at Primrose, Wisconsin. As a young man Gimre had worked in the city of Stavanger, Norway. In 1864 Mathias Huseboe and family, accompanied by several young people, settled in the neighborhood, and in the following year Tonnes K. Stangeland did likewise. Both the Huseboe group and Stangeland came from the Stavanger region of Norway where they had been active in Quaker circles. During the ten or twelve years after the arrival of S0ren Oleson, a large number of Norwegians arrived, THE NORWEGIAN QUAKERS 129 some from Illinois and Wisconsin, but the majority directly from Norway. The settlement was appropriately called Stavanger for the district in Norway from which most of its members originally came. It should not be confused with an older Stavanger settlement near Ossian in Winneshiek County, Iowa. A substantial addition was made to the community in 1869 when a company of about fifty Norwegian immigrants descended upon Le Grand. This group movement was the..." @default.
