Notes

• From Markuson Genealogy: "The Markusons: 1834 to 1964": "Knute
  Markuson and Martha Reppen were married in Norway, just before sailing
  for American in 1853, and they were on the ocean nine weeks.  They
  settled at McFarland near Madison Wisconsin, where they lived two
  years.  Then they moved to Goodhue County, Minnesota, a few miles north
  of where Kenyon is now located.  They then moved seven or eight miles
  southwest of Kenyon where they lived until the fall of 1882 when they
  filed on a homestead at Woodside Minnesota, (one mile south) where they
  finally acquited three quarter sections of land which they sold in 1901,
  and commenced building a house in Fertile.  However, father passed away
  before that was finished.
  Mother finished the house and lived there until 1915, when she sold it
  and went to Chicago to live with Matilda(Mrs. Rev. Ofstedal).  She then
  went to Minneapolis to live with Albert and Mary Marukuson a couple
  years and later went to California to live with Anna(Mrs. J.A. Ofstedahl)
  where she passed away in 1931.
  Father and Mother are both interred at Maple Lake Cemetary south of
  Maple Bay, Minnesota.
  They had fifteen children, three of whom died in infancy, and they took
  the sixteenth to raise.  He was Oscar Medchill, fifteen months old at the
  time."
  Due to the note above, it can be assumed that there were three more
  children -- all of whom died in infancy -- than are listed with the family
  in this location.  Neither the names, dates of birth, or any other
  information of these three were listed in this 1964 genealogy.
