  Notes	Helge Erikson Kasa was one of the contributors to the start-up of St. Olaf College and the construction of Old Main. He was a veteran of the Civil War, Company D, 10th Regiment, Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. As Henry, 38, he and his family were living with his parents in Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County, in the 1880 census. In the 1885 state census, he is in Warsaw Twp. Living on one side is his parents and brother Johannes and family. Living on the other side is his sister Ambjor Ellingboe, widow of Iver. In the 1895 state census, the family lives next to the Gaasdelens (widow Guri, 58, is the head) in Warsaw Twp. In the census at least, Henry and Ingrid are listed as Erikson although all of their children are Kasas. All of the children, from Berit to Albert except for Iver, are still living with Henry and Ingrid in 1895. In the 1920 census, Helge and Ingrid still have Berith, Helge, John, Oscar, and Albert at home, all single. In addition, they have three grandchildren living with them: Freddie (#11119), Herman, and Alice. The last two seem to be Erick’s. He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books) but his entry specifically says he was not a member of the Samband. He is Henry Erickson on his death certificate, for which the informant was his wife Ida. He died of stomach cancer.
