Lena Mikkelson Nordrum Lena Nordrum Vanasse 1870-1946 42
“My parents were married in 1890 and my father, William Vanasse, with his father, Peter Vanasse, built a logtype house on the homestead property where the house stands today. It was built near a lumber mill owned by the family, and employed several men. My mother, Lena, as a young lady cooked for the crew at the same time birthing my sister Mildred and brother Earl. William moved them to a house in Spring Valley (the house on the hill) where Victor, Ted and I were born. It was during this time my father, Peter, and my brothers Earl began building the existing large house.” Helen Vanasse Barnstable Lena was born October 31, 1870; 4 just a few months after her family arrived in Wisconsin. 14 She was born on Mr. Pettit’s farm, in Maple Springs. 3,21 She was confirmed in the Christian faith, October 31, 1885 on her sixteenth birthday at North Rush River Lutheran Church by Pastor Krug. 26 When she was still young, her family moved from Cady to Eau Galle, in St. Croix County; where a new home was built on 80 acres. 22 As a young girl, Lena probably walked to school in Wildwood. 3 In her teen age years, Lena worked for the Adams family in Wildwood, as their housekeeper. From there, she found work in a sanitarium in Hudson, on 3 rd Street, until she married William Richard Vanasse, June 30, 1890 in River Falls, Wisconsin, at the age of 20. 3,44,67 43 Lena Nordrum & William Vanasse 30 June 1890 Together, they would have five children, Richard Earl, Mildred Virginia, Victor Lloyd, Theodore Carl, and Helen Fern. Once married, Lena moved into a small home built from the lumber at the saw mill which her new husband had started with his father, Peter. The surprise of her marriage came when she learned that she was to be the cook for the mill employees! 3 William Richard Vanasse was born March 25, 1867 in Spring Valley to Peter Vanasse, and Virginia Akers. William’s father, Peter was born March 4, 1840, at Three Rivers, in Quebec, Canada. At the age of 16, he left home to stay a year with an older brother. He walked to the Great Lakes where he boarded a ship and worked along side the crew for passage. Once he disembarked in Wisconsin, he made his way on foot
