Casper Bremseth

The fifth child of Arndt and Beret Bremseth was born July 7, 1887. On November 12, 1912 he married
Cora Weed. They spent most of their lives farming in the Preston, Highland, Fountain, Lanesboro and
Austin areas. They also lived in Charles City, Iowa, where he worked at the Heartparr implement Factory.

Casper worked for the Hormel Company while living in the Austin area. When the state Fish Hatchery
was being built in Lanesboro, Casper also worked there. In his later years he did road work (drove a
horse with road equipment and helped dig ditches). Dad was a lover of sports, such as baseball,
horseshoe and cricket.

Casper and Cora had seventeen children. Two boys Vernon and Stanley died as a very young age, and
the oldest son, Ralph, passed away in 1985. Three boys and eleven girls are still living. They are all living
in Minnesota with the exception of two girls who are living in Illinois.

I those days when the family was growing up, there were good days and bad days, but always plenty of
love. Casper passed away I 1966, and at that time, Cora made her home with Richard, the youngest son
until she passed away in 1983.
