In 1898 at the age of sixteen, Godhart Frederick Johnson came to America from Langeland, Denmark, with his Uncle, Hans Godfredson. He worked first at St.
Ansgar, Iowa, then in 1900 moved to Lucca, Barnes County. Here he farmed with a brother Axel, near Enderlin. In 1904 his family from Denmark joined him and over the next few years he increased his land holdings.
In November 1915 he married Laura Boji, who was born in 1895 and was also from Langeland, Denmark. Eight children were born to this union:
George,
Ann,
Frederick,
Clara,
Violet,
Robert,
Victor and
Ethel.
Godhart and Laura returned to Denmark on visits twice and Godhart, at the age of 80, with two daughters and two grandchildren, flew to Denmark. Laura passed away in 1966. Godhart now lives alone in Enderlin, North Dakota, at the age of ninety two.
