Kampa, Martin 51All are indicated as having Freufsen as the country of birth. At the time of the July 12, 1895 Minnesota state census Frances was 67 years old and living with her husband Martin in St. George Township, Benton Co. MN. Frances said she had been living there for 24 years, and that both her parents were of foreign birth. Martin and Frances (Franzewka) Kampa moved to a farm 1/2 mile south of Duelm MN in 1870 and homesteaded. Daughter Julia who was 4 years old when the family immigrated didn't go to school because of the great distance through the woods which was supposedly inhabited with wild animals and Indians. (Report of Mary Sturzyk (née Halfman) to William Pollard in May 1961) Frances reportedly carried 50 lbs. of flour on her back from Saint Cloud (12 miles). "Made the rounds of her children in the Duelm area, daily." Both Martin and Frances died of strokes on their farm. Frances reportedly died on the hill behind Ted Pollard's house (Ted is in ownership of the land first owned by Martin and Frances Kampa). The old homestead was south of Duelm on 80 acres west of N-S highway. Martin and Frances' children inherited the farm in 1906. The children sold the farm in 1908 to Michael Kampa (a first cousin). Michael's children inherited the farm in 1940 upon his death. Joe and Rose Pollard purchased the farm in 1940. There was 160 acres east of the highway originally homesteaded by William Hoeseche who sold it to A. J. Hoseseche, who sold it to Nels and Sadie Nelson. Joe and Rose Pollard purchased that land in 1944. (Information provided to Len Pollard by Mary Boersch Halfman and Dorothy and Ed Swalbaski in Sept. 20, 1990 conversation) |
