Marit emigrated to America with her husband Hellek, and two sons Gisle and Ole on the ship S.S. Nova Scotian. Her son Hellick did not travel with them, he came two years later. They left Liverpool, England and arrived in Quebec, Canada in May 1868. They headed to Dane County, Wisconsin to live.
In Norway they owned the farm Langkjennseter, so her husband went by the name Hellek Olsen Langkjennseter in Norway, since his father's first name was Ole. When he left Norway he went by the name Hellek Olson in the ship records and while they lived in Wisconsin. But when they lived in Nebraska he shortened their last name from Langkjennseter to Satter. All the family members became known by the last name Satter. In Norway Mary went by the name Maret or Marit Gislesdatter Aslefet. Her father's first name was Gisle and she was from the farm Aslefet.
Once in America the family went to the town of Christianna, in Dane County, Wisconsin to live with a family by the name of Andrew and Jane Lems. While they lived with them, Hellik worked on their farm as a farm laborer and Marit as a domestic. The family lived in Dane County for about 7 years until the moved west to Nebraska.
On June 1, 1874 a group of pioneers started out in covered wagons for their destination in Boone County, Nebraska. Hellik left on the wagon train alone, as the group headed west to Nebraska. He left his family behind in order to spend one year preparing a home for them. After a successful five-week journey, the group arrived in Old Town (Newman Grove), Nebraska on the 4th of July 1874.
All the pioneers promptly searched for homesteads in the Coon Prairie area. They all liked the area they had never seen before. They all stayed and filed homesteads there and became friends for life.
Her husband, Hellik O. Satter, filed for a 160 acre homestead in Midland Precinct, Boone County, Nebraska on August 1, 1874. It was located on the N.W. 1/4 of Section 32, Township 21 North, Range 5 West, 6th P.M. They family built a sod home and made improvements on the farm. Their sons Ole, Hellick, and George lived with them and helped with the farm work. As the sons married, they moved on to their own farms. George never married and remained living with them, helping with the farm work.
Her husband died on Dec. 3 1884 from an accident at his farm when he fell from his wagon. Mary and her son George lived on the homestead for a while but eventually had to sell it. Mary and George then moved in with her son Ole. George continued to do farm work helping Ole out of his farm.
Mary was buried on January 12, 1920.
