 | | F.H. made three round trips to Denmark and back after he settled in Michigan, once to find a likely bride, Christine Sandberg, then to bring her to the U.S., and finally, after their five children were born, to give his wife one last look at home. |
| | At any rate, the teenage and penniless F.H. found his way to Ellsworth and prospered there, somehow buying and selling farms and houses, building and operating a three-story hotel called the Orient, a shingle mill, a hardware store and a waterworks, and donating land for a station when the railroad came through in '92. |
| | Ellsworth Lake is still where it was when my father and I would shove off at first light in a borrowed rowboat, seats slicked by dew, to fish for perch and crappies with bamboo poles and worms. |
