• Notes

  Most of the information about Casper comes from Cai Mygind's book on families from Hanherred and Hillerslev Herred, Denmark, pages 65-66. Casper was born at Madsb²l. His descendants give his name as Casper Josuprets-Mand Larsen Djernes Madsball. Birth and death dates were provided by Joann Reetz at the 1996 Djernes Family Reunion. Witnesses to Casper's baptism were Ane Pedersdatter from ¢sl²s parsonage, Kasper Koldkjaer from Lild, Lars Klit and Christen Blode from Klit. Casper went to ¢sl²s as a farmhand with Jens Chr. Madsen, but left for the United States in 1871. He worked first in Illinois, and later went to Nebraska, where he met and married Gurine O. Quamme in 1880 in Hamilton County. In 1893 the family left Nebraska where Casper had been farming, and went to Minnesota. They settled south of Tyler, where they had a farm . The family later moved into Tyler and started a restaurant, which Casper ran until he retired. He died in Tyler. He was known as Casper Larsen in the United States. The Danish Emigration Archives Copenhagen Police Records show that Kasper Josva Larsen, age 23, farmer (Landman) from Lild, Thisted, actually emigrated in 1873, registering March 31, 1873. His destination was Chicago, Illinois, Contract Number 1065M. Traveling to the same place on the same day were Lars Larsen, 22, farmer from T²mmerby, Thisted and S²ren Chr. Lukasen, 17, farmer from T²mmerby. Casper was apparently the first member of the Djernes family to immigrate to the United States.
