Christian H. Tollefsrude history, 1905-1933
A scrapbook covering the history of the Norwegians in Rock County, Wisconsin, by Christian Tollefsrude, the son of H. C. Tollefsrude, a pioneer in the Rock Prairie area. The scrapbook is based on a 1917 typescript history of which Peder Olson Langseth was the principal author. Tollefsrude is credited with at least four of the sections. The original typescript has here seen many additions and corrections, and hundreds of clippings have been inserted, some pasted in and others loose. The total pagination is 792, compared with 377 in the original typescript. Another copy of the history, with manuscript corrections and additions, is in the Langseth collection (P 1249); the two copies should be used together, because each contains material not found in the other. The collection also includes clippings, correspondence, articles, and other materials related to the Tollefsrude family and to Rock County, Wisconsin.
- Includes clippings from Tollefsrude family reunions (1905, 1909); obituaries of C.H.T. and his wife; and letters written by Tollefsrude to C.G.O. Hansen (1928-29) commenting on Hansen's articles on Rock Prairie, Wisconsin.
- Tollefsrude history, English translation and supplemental notes. 2 files. Includes pedigree charts of Ole Andrewson and Nattestad brothers; notes from other histories of Rock County, Wis., and miscellaneous notes from the Tollefsrude history. The translation is highly selective, comprising far less than half the original text. Page numbers from the original text have been added. Data collected 1905-1916.
- Scrapbook. Several photographs included.
