Lars Aasheim and Britta Stephenson Millie were both born in Skaanevik, Norway. They lived there through their childhood years; then in 1870 they were married and immigrated to the United States. They came across in a schooner, which required nine weeks to cross the Atlantic.
They stayed one year in Ossian, Iowa, and in 1871 they came to Highland Township in Lincoln County, where they filed a homestead. The first home they had was a sod house. They became members of Lands, Moe Parish church and also the Highland Center #7 School District.
Their children were Berndt, Knutte, Ole, Steffert, Anna Orstad, Johanna Enstad and Britta Fossum. Five others died in infancy.
