The name of Vier was not used in America. The family took the name of Knutson except for one son, Ramus, who took the name of Rasmussen.
They came to America (Chicago, Illinois) in 1854. Ramus became ill and was advised by his doctor to return to Norway which they did early fall of 1856. They then returned to America the second time in 1883 to Cambridge, Iowa to join the rest of his family. From Iowa, they moved to Adrian MN.
