In the 1860 census, as John Johnson, he and Sarah live in Holden Twp, Goodhue County. He is 24, she is 26, and living with them is a 6 year-old girl named Emma, born in Wisconsin. The age of Emma is obviously incorrect and was probably misunderstood by the census-taker who was not Norwegian. In the 1880 census, he and his family live with his mother, Ingeborg Olstrom, age 78, in Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County, Minnesota. He and Sigrid have four sons: John, 13, Evem, 9, Garlik, 7, and Nels, 1. The two daughters must be living elsewhere. From the Kenyon Leader, January 6, 1916 John Estrum, aged 80 years, died at his home in Warsaw on Friday, December, 30. Deceased was born in Valders, Norway, in 1836. In 1857 he was united in marriage to Sigrid Leite. A year later the couple came to America, settling in Wisconsin. After remaining there for a time they removed to Warsaw, where they have since made their home. Ten children blessed the union, six of whom survive and are as follows: Mrs. Eberhart of Thief River Falls; Mrs. McCurdy of Minneapolis, Nels, Gilbert, and Evan, and Mrs. George Kolstad all of the town of Warsaw. Funeral services were held Tuesday. Rev. Hauge officiating, interment being made in Vangs cemetery. Called John Johnson Estrem in Find A Grave.
