Bio
Olaus E. and Mathia (Benrud) Goplin, Claus came to America with his parents and three brothers, August, Julius and Simon and two sisters, Maria (Goplin) Myren and Elise in 1867, settling first near Janesville, Wisconsin. In 1869 they moved to their homestead, now the Ludwig Goplin farm in the town of Hale, where Olaus grew to manhood. He was baptized into the Lutheran faith in Norway and confirmed in the Synod Lutheran church of Pigeon Falls by the Rev. S.L. O. Shewen and later became a member of the United Lutheran church of that place. Olaus E. Goplin, who was born in Norway in 1861, purchased 80 acres of the farm and lived on it many years, dying in December 1901. He added to his land until the farm comprised 220 acres. His wife, also a native of Norway, survived him about a year and four moths, passing away in April 1903. His religious affiliations are with the United Norwegian Lutheran church, of Pigeon Falls, of which he was secretary from the time of its organization until his death.
