&lt;div class="element-text"&gt;Family and church histories prepared by Myrvik, a farmer born in North Dakota of Norwegian parents. The family history gives an account of the 1869 journey from Hemnes, Nordland, by way of Bergen &amp;amp; Montreal to Minnesota, eventually to Cabalier Co., North Dakota. Includes comments on travel by covered wagon, land sharks, snowstorms, diseases, schools, and prices of commodities and crops. The history of Stefanus (St. Stephen) Lutheran Church, Milton, North Dakota (1883-1933), includes the names of the founders and ministers and a history of the auxiliary societies.&lt;/div&gt;
