EVERSON, SANVIK, REV BOE CHURCH FARM, BRISTOL TOWNSHIP

I believe my great grandmother Anna Sanvik Everson came to America with her family through Quebec in 1882. At some point after, she was supposed to been the postmistress when they lived the the big rectangular home next to the parsonage , then further east was the church property. I find Rev. Boe in the records. Could he have been the legal Postmaster and Anna Everson by then, the clerk while she lived there with family. Later in the mid 1950's, my family lived in that home. Wilfer Anderson (dad) Blanch (Amundson) Anderson (mom) and the four of us girls, Vicki, Merdys, Judy, and Laurie (me) lived there about five years. I loved the experience and would like to look at the church records of that time so we could scan then into my file. I used to take the cattle out to pasture behind the church and retrieve them by calling out to them. Many bumps on the hillside have made we wonder if the Indians had burial grounds there. Some were on the flatland and some on a medium sized hill at the entrance to the pasture after it opened up from the fenced lane that went behind the parsonage. We made wild grape wine from the vines on the pasture fences. This was starting about a year before Pastor Ben Njordet came to the parish. Soon after we moved to Forest City is when he died. Judy and I would clean house and mow his lawn. We'd often include him in family sports or game in the yard. He'd come over and we knew he enjoyed all our family rucus. Dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, pigs, a few milking cattle and farm ground. I'm sad to see all the buildings gone. But if not in use, I do understand. We loved the huge oak tree out in the front yard. I'd like to see any reference to it. We have a photograph of it put on my coffee mug and metal impression or screening. Not sure what it;s called. Huge gratitude it is still there. A real landmark.
