    Notes:

    CECELIA ANDERSON, b. February 14, 1840, La Salle county, IL. (hus) Styrk Sjurson Reque, b. November 27, 1836, Voss, Norway. Married July 2, 1865, at Cambridge, Wis. Cecelia grew to womanhood in the Norwegian settlement at Koshkonong Prairie, where her parents settled in 1841. After her marriage she took an active part in Lutheran church affairs, and at Spring Grove, Minn., where she and her husband lived for many years, she organized the first Ladies' Aid society of that community. She died, after a lingering illness, on May 30, 1900, at Spring Grove. Rudolf Kvelve (9i) has this to say regarding her: 'I was a small boy at the time of Aunt Cecelia's last illness, but I remember her as a very kindly woman, one who was deeply religious. She was glad to see me and told me she would soon be going home to our Father in Heaven. She did go home soon after that, and I can remember the funeral, the first one of which I have any recollection, and how perplexed I was. I was only eight years old then.' Styrk came to this country with his parents, Sjur Styrkson Reque and Anne Gjermo (Reque) in 1845 and settled at Leeds, Wis., about twenty miles north of Madison, Wis. Three years later they moved to the famous Koshkonong settlement in Dane county, where Styrk received his preliminary education. Later he continued his studies at the University of Wisconsin, and at Concordia Theological Seminary at St. Louis, Mo., graduating with a divinity degree. His first charge was at Roche a Cree, near New Lisbon, Wis., where he served several neighboring congregations. In 1871 he accepted a call extended to him from Spring Grove, Minn., and there he remained as pastor for thirty-nine years. Quoting from Rev. A. 0. Johnson in his biography of Rev. Reque: 'In 1876 the saloons, up to that time a curse and a disgrace to Spring Grove, were voted out, and no one questions the contention that the change was due to the fearless and untiring work of the strong and energetic pastor.' He died August 20, 1910, at Spring Grove, Minn.
