Kristen Kristenson Rogne Melby immigrated to the USA in 1880. In the USA, Kristen first used Rogne for his last name, as indicated on his marriage recorded at the courthouse, but he soon became known as C.C. Melby. C. C. first located east of the town of McHenry on a tree claim. In the early 1890's he filed on a homestead north of Manfred, soon to be followed by Anna Stokkebryn, who homesteaded next to his land. They later were married and continued to farm and build up a large farmstead as well as holdings. He built the first large hip roof barn in the area and was instrumental in the immigration of many of his countrymen, paying their fare and employing them until they worked it off and were able to be set up in various occupations.
Bendick Eriksen Rogne arrived in the USA in 1893, and settled in Manfred, N.D., joining friends from Norway, after spending a short time in Woods County, Wisconsin. Once in Manfred, N.D. Bendik and his wife Kari filed on land.
Christian Robel was born in Øystre Slidre, Norway. Christ homesteaded in 1892 on land that later became part of the town site of Manfred. He married Anna in 1898, and she ran a boarding house in Manfred for 25 years.
Ole S. and Ingrid (Jorstad) Hedahl came to the United States with their two children, Swen and Gina, in 1893 from Valdres, Norway. After living for a short time in Twin Valley, Minn., they homesteaded near Manfred in 1895. Six more children were born at Manfred, Conrad, Oscar, Clara, Edwin, Emma and Edith.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom T. Jorstad were natives of Norway. In 1893, Tom immigrated to the USA, his wife Ragndi immigrated in 1899. They were married August 29, 1900 in St. Paul, MN. Their homestead certificate was given October 26, 1908 and signed by Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. President.
In the spring of 1896 Ole Onstad came to America arriving in Manfred, ND. In 1896 Ole filed on a homestead northwest of Manfred. On March 18, 1909 Ole and Gina were married at the Vang Lutheran Church in Manfred, and had their wedding reception at the Manfred Hotel.
