- Is there a place near Thompson that was once known as
Pleasant View - or does anyone know where Pleasant View
would be? Some of the above folks have listed their
residence as Pleasant View, North Dakota, on marriage
licenses, & other things. We thought they lived in
Thompson. I'm looking for possible burial site for
Sophie Whipple, and Pleasant View might be a clue!
Thanks!.

- About 1881, the children of Russell & Mary Allen
WHIPPLE migrated from Henry County, Illinois to
Thompson, North Dakota. Here Edwin farmed, & Edwin
& Sophie, his sister, who acted as a mother to the
family, since there parents had died in Henry County, in
1870 & 1873, are both listed as landowners in 1885.
Sister Mary Nellie married Fred YORK, originally from
Hyde Park, Wabasha County, Minnesota, in 1884. They had
5 children - and then Mary Nellie died in 1898. Her
sister Lillian came to care for the children &
stayed to become Mr. YORKS's second wife, and they had 3
more children. Edwin married Mary FOX, daughter of
Richard & Mary FOX, in 1889 & youngest sister
Daisy married Samuel C. MARBURGER, from Ludington,
Michigan in 1889, & they moved back to Ludington,
Michigan. Many Allen cousins lived in the nearby area,
some Tuttle cousins also, & cousin Willis WHIPPLE
also. In 1893 older brother Charles WHIPPLE & wife
Alice FLANSBURG came to live in Thompson, nearby, al!
so. AFter the turn of the century, Edwin & his
family of 3 children moved on to Fort McLoed, Alberta,
Canada, cousins Will moved to Anacortes, Washington,
Charles & Alice moved to Anoka, Minnesota, &
Fred & LIllian York & their large family moved
to Medford, Oregon. Some Allen cousins moved on to
California, & soon the family was not known any
longer in the Thompson area they had called home for
over 20 years. I would welcome any information about
these families, said to live in Pleasant View, and/or
Thompson, North Dakota in many documents from the late
1800's..

- My mother, Myrtle Irine Klevegaard, was born on the
wagon trek from Norway to Canada on Jan 21, 1912. She
was born on either the Minnesota or North Dakota side of
the river near Grand Forks. I am of the belief that the
church were she was registered at burned down leaving no
records. Does anyone have any ideas how I could trace my
mother's records? Her family homesteaded near Scout
Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. Grand Forks County, North
Dakota or Polk County, Minnesota is were she was born.
Thank you...Wayne Cann.
