The earliest recorded purchasers of land in Beaverville township and the Middleport townships (from Iroquois county original land purchases 1831-1882, by R.D. Moore and V. N. Moore, 1977). "Using county property transfer records, I was able to find some, but only a very few, records of their land purchases in the area. It is probable that most of them were lost when the US government transferred "unsold swampland" to the states in 1850. The first recorded purchasers of the Beaver Creek land are largely French settlers who arrived in the min-1850s." – communication from Larson (May 3, 1996) to Odd S. Lovoll. -
Wesley Lauritsen thesis, 1933

The author was born in Denmark 1898, worked 40 years for the Minnesota school for the Deaf in Faribault, then was on the staff of the Ephphatha Missions there.; Lloyd Hustvedt's assessment: mostly duplicates what is available elsewhere. The author's discussion of "why the immigrant liked Bjornson is a mix of insight and naivete. The vocations chapter brings to light some inventors I had not heard about earlier."
