Andrew Lars Dobbe
B: 1849 Kragero, Telemarken, Norway. In 1870 Andrew went to USA to Nevada, Iowa with his 1/2 brother Haldor.
D: Dec 17, 1929.
In 1903 Andrew and Mary bought the Robbins Farm, 150 Acres, S.E. of Huxley. This farm was 1/2 mile from Palestine Church and 1/2 mile from Fjeldburg County School which was on the corner of HWY 69 and 210 were the Fjeldburg Cemetery is currently. Then in 1908 they bought a lot in Huxley NE of now 2nd Ave. Mary’s brother Severt Tweedt lived directly across the street and Ness lived on the East of them. After Andrew retired Martin and Lewis farmed with Minnie and Isabelle as housekeepers.
Then Minnie and Ovid Loucks farmed there until the mid 1930′s when Ole and Bertha Hauge bought it. Loucks moved to a farm near Slater.
The Dobbe family genealogy is well documented and recorded in the Saga of The Dobbe Family 1849-1990. There is a copy available to see at the Huxley Library. So I will not endeavor more at this place.
