Johannes Knudsen Berge: First Hande descendant in America, 1849
By Irma (Mrs. Kermit) Johnson
The earliest known emigrant to America in the Hande family is believed to have been Johannes Knudsen Berge, the second son of Knud Tordsen Berge and Ingri Johannesdatter Hande. He was born in Vestre Slidre, Valdres, Norway on the 8th of September 1825 and baptized on 18th of October, according to records found in the Mormon Genealogical Library, Salt Lake City, Utah.
At this time in Norway, the home farm customarily went to the oldest son. Johannes, at age 25, decided to go to America, and on the 11th of April 1849 he is recorded in the parish register as leaving for America. Hunger for land was the chief reason for emigration. As early as 1845 or 1847, people left Vang and Slidre parishes in Norway. They settled along Lake Michigan in Wisconsin in what is now the City of Manitowoc until they decided on land in Manitowoc County.
On the 2nd December 1850, "Johannes Knudtzen" entered on 160 acres of land at the General Land Office in Menasha, Wisconsin. (This is the spelling of his name in the official records and the form he continued to use for many years thereafter.) He now had to prove to the Government that he would work the land, improve it, and also pay 50 cents an acre. He did this and received a land patent from the United States Government on the 10th of July 1851. His homestead farm in Liberty Township was covered with solid trees of hemlock, pine and patches of hardwood, mostly oak.
Johannes K. Berge and Marit Jogersdatter Qvam were married the 3rd of October 1850 in the city of Manitowoc. Until they were able to build a cabin on their farm, they lived in the city. Johannes and two of his neighbors came out from Manitowoc whenever possible to cut down trees and build cabins for their families. Trees had to be marked so they wouldn't lose their way on the trip. Supplies were brought out and kept in chests or the trunks they had brought from Norway. Water was taken from a creek on the property until a well could be dug. In the 1870 census, it shows that Johannes had cleared 20 acres of land and there were 30 acres of woods with a full value of $1,000. He had implements worth $50, two horses, two cows, two young stock, six sheep and one pig. The value of all his livestock was $295. He and his family raised 26 bushels of wheat and 80 bushels of oats, grew ten bushels of potatoes, harvested one ton of hay, made 160 pounds of butter, and cut 18 cords of wood, all of which produce was valued at $310.
According to the 1860 and 1870 census, Johannes and Marit were listed as Knudtzen, but their children are listed as Johnsons and Johnsdatters. They had nine children, two boys and seven girls. Knud Johnson, the oldest son, was born the 11th of January 1852. The youngest child was also a boy named John Johnson, born in 1871. Four of the seven girls died in their twenties. Their names are all engraved on the large tombstone along with the names of their parents in the Valders West Cemetery, about one and a half miles from the homestead.
One of the first tasks after establishing a home and a means of livelihood was to start a church. On the 4th of October 1850, a letter of call to secure a minister shows Johannes Knudtzen as one of the signatories. On the 16th of June 1851 he signed the church constitution, along with a group of 62 men, all originating from the Valdres valley in Norway. The first church built in the area of Valders, Wisconsin, was an octagonal, log structure with all the walls of the same breadth. When completed in 1856, the church had a beautiful pulpit and baptismal font. The mahogany pulpit was also eight-sided with "masamaling." The baptismal font was painted a bluish white to resemble blue marble.
Johannes K. Berge and his wife Marit (or "Mary") sold their farm on the 27th of April 1886 to their son Knud B. Johnson and his wife Aletta C. Larsen. Johannes died on the 25th of January 1887 and was buried with the name "John K. Berge" (not Knudtzen) on his tombstone. Marit lived with Knud and Aletta on the farm until her death on the 22nd July 1891. She is buried next to her husband and daughters in the Valders West Cemetery.
The original homestead has been in Johannes K. Berge's family since he purchased it in 1850, although all the successive owners have the Johnson name: his son Knud Johnson, from 1886; his son's widow Aletta Johnson, from 1896; grandson Joel C. Johnson, from 1916; great-grandson Kermit W. Johnson, from 1947; and great-great-grandson Keith Johnson, from 1982. Keith and Brenda Johnson currently operate this farm in addition to other purchased and rented acreage.
