Gilbert Anderson and his good wife, Ingeborg Fladegaard, natives of Norway, 
were among the early people of that hardy race who have done so much to better 
the agricultural conditions of America, coming to the American land at a very 
early date.  On reaching this country they found their means exhausted when 
they had got as far west as Milwaukee, but undaunted they set out with an ox 
team, proceeding to Dane County, where they settled.  The elder members of the 
family, including Gilbert's aged mother, about 80 years, had walked the entire 
distance.  They were ambitious God-fearing people, being representative and 
prosperous.  Both are now deceased.  They were the parents of Ever B. and 
Charles H. Anderson, who are representative farmers of Lincoln Township, this 
county.
