Carl K. Lyseng Biography

Carl was born in Clinton, Minnesota, to Knut K. and Anne Lyseng on November 30, 1886. He immigrated
with his parents to Canada in 1902. They brought all their belongings including cattle, machinery and furniture
with them by freight train.

At Regina, the freight was too heavy, so they had to leave one box-car behind. Carl and Edward were in charge
of it while the others went on. Knut gave Carl $5.00 so he and Edward could buy food. Carl worked with his Dad
until he was 23 years of age. On March 2, 1910, he married Ragna Foss of Round Hill.

Carl and Ragna had four daughters and two sons. They were Alna, Hazel, Klemmet, Emily, Ivan and Dorothy.

Ragna passed away in 1980 at the age of 89 years. Carl died in 1985. The log house they had first lived in was
donated to the Camrose Museum by their son Ivan.
