Note: John says when he was really little he remembers Selena Erickson taking care of a Mrs. Gorder when Selena lived on the Odness farm. She was bedridden there. He thinks this was about 1945. Linda Topper, March 28, 2007

Kristine Brue, Mt. Horeb ______________________________________________________ from the book History of Dane Co., published 1906 Christ H. Gorder is a well-known farmer of Perry township where he settled in 1871 immediately upon his arrival in the United States, and has lived on the same farm during almost the entire period. He was born May 18, 1849, in Christiana, Norway, son of Harold and Carn (Peterson) Johnson, the former a veteran of the Norwegian army. Christ received his education in Norway and when he came to Wisconsin in 1871 was employed for several years as a farm laborer. Soon, however, he procured a farm in the town of Perry, containing one hundred and twenty-five acres and began to work it for himself, meeting with much success. This property he has owned ever since that time though for a short period he rented and worked at the mason's trade. Returning to farming he made that his permanent occupation and carries on an extensive general farming business. One brother of Christ Gorder, Hans A. lives in Norway and one sister, Guneil, who married Hans Hanson, resides in Iowa. The other two members of the family are deceased. Mr. Gorder married in 1871 Miss Anna Olson, a native of Norway and six children blessed the marriage, of whom three are living. Clara married T. O. Thompson* of Mount Horeb and Hannah married Charles Dickinson and resides in Iowa Co. and Minnie married Edward Dickinson of Iowa. Mrs. Gorder died and in September 1899, her husband married Mrs. Mary (Anderson) Hanson, daughter of Arne and Carrie (Gilbertson) Anderson. Three children were born to Mrs. Gorder by a former marriage: Hannah (Mrs. Emil Smouldt),** Clarence A. and Delia, all of whom reside in Madison. The family attend the Norwegian Lutheran church. Mr. Gorder is a Republican in his political sympathies but has never devoted much of his time to active participation in political matters.
*Clara married Thorvald O. Thompson. Charles and Edward Dickinson were brothers. ** spelled Schmoldt in the censuses
