About Simon Johnson Brein
Simon Johnson Brein
' Simon Johnson Brein, a pioneer of Stanley Township, now deceased, was born in Norway, Feb. 22, 1836, and was married there in 1858, to Paulina Chris Linsdatter, who was born Jan. 6, 1831. In 1869, with their five children, Anna, Christian, John, Agnette and Johanna, they set out for the United States. They were fourteen weeks aboard a sailing‘boat, a long and tiresome voyage indeed, for the parents and their young children. They reached Chicago by way of the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes, and came on to Portage County, this state, where they settled. In 1874 they came to Barron County. and located in Stanley Township. Their funds were low, and the trip from Eau Claire was made afoot. They built a good log cabin, and there started home making. Mr. Brein was a skilled workman, and helped to put up many of the log houses and log schools in the neighborhood. He also dug wells throughout the town ship. He and his family underwent all the hardships of pioneer life, and in time achieved success. He retired in 1910 and took up his home with his daughter, Mrs. Carl Olsen, in Sumner Township, where he still resides. His wife died in 1912 at the age of eighty-one. They were both devout members of the Norwegian Lutheran Church, and early services were held in their cabin. In addition to the children already mentioned, two, Simon Peder and Clara, were born in this state. https://books.googleusercontent.com/books/content?req=AKW5Qac7vmkM_...
