Halfway Creek area of La Crosse County, WI sometime before 1861. He served

of the city. After the war, he returned to Halfway Creek, WI where he farmed

Information page. His brothers, Olof and Helje were also in the U.S. with him. Family records note that Ole never married, while Helje married, but did not have children. Their father, Thore Helgeson, may have eventually came to the U.S. and died in Halfway Creek. A letter from Thore to his sons, dated 31 July 1861, notes that a brother of Thore, Johannes (Johannes Helgeson), also lived in Wisconsin near the boys and was most likely the reason they settled in Sweden Coulee.
