Michigan Author Joy Ibsen visits her childhood home of Viborg, South Dakota during Danish Days 2009
Michigan Author Joy Ibsen returned to her childhood hometown during Danish Days 2009 to present her latest book Unafraid that includes a slice of life in Viborg, SD.
From a great-grandfather forced to live in a local cave during a depression in the 1890s to a father who pastored two area churches after a stint protecting Danish royalty, Ibsen's Viborg heritage is as colorful as the bright red and white Danish flag.
During Danish Days, Ibsen lead a Songfest on Saturday, July 18, 2009 using her popular first book Songs of Denmark: Songs to Live By that was followed by a PowerPoint presentation about her book Unafraid and then signed her books for friends, former neighbors and local residents.
I read a chapter from Unafraid and explained its Grundtvigian philosophy, said Ibsen, whose presentation included her family history and stories based in Viborg.
A 1958 graduate of Viborg High School, Joy's new book Unafraid has many stories about the years she lived in Viborg.
Unafraid is co-authored by her late father Harald who served Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Viborg and the Trinity Lutheran Church in Gayville,SD (near Meckling) from 1948 to 1960.
Ibsen died in 1972 at age of 74.
The book is co-authored by my (late) father because the sermons are the basis of the book and the thoughts and ideas are his and they are very relevant to today's world, Ibsen said.
Young Sunday school students from her Rev. Ibsen's one-time church (Our Savior's Lutheran Church) comprise the Danish Folk Dancers who performed traditional dances in Viborg High School during Danish Days.
While going through an old wooden file cabinet in her mother's home, Ibsen rescued her late father's sermon notes. The sermons were given in small town and rural churches in four Midwest states with his longest service in Viborg.
Her stories in Unafraid are fiction but begin with autobiographical stories mainly from Viborg.
The 225-page paperback book is published by Wipf and Stock Publishers of Eugene, Oregon.
Each of the 36 chapters in Unafraid starts with a portion of her father's sermons followed by the thoughts of parishioners and what is going on in their lives. Transcribing her father's sermon notes was a challenge, because they were in note form and created on an old Danish Royal typewriter with its Danish symbols and letters.
Unafraid is sold at the Viborg Museum. Songs of Denmark is available along with CD by the Grand View College Kantorei for $39.95. The CD alone is $10.
During her visit to the Viborg area, Joy Ibsen visited her great-grandfather Mads Ibsen's old homestead and visited her family plots at the West Cemetery.
I consider Viborg my hometown because that's where I grew up from third grade through high school, Ibsen said.
Ibsen's deep South Dakota roots include her great-grandfather Mads Ibsen who settled in Viborg (formerly Danneville) in 1889.
During Danish Days, Joy Ibsen visited her great-grandfather's homestead on 100 acres of unplowed prairie that included a small stream near Turkey Ridge where he built an 8 by 12 foot wooden shack with a slanted roof.
He bought the farm for $600 by making small payments to a former homesteader who was losing her rights to the property, Ibsen said.
Ibsen hopes to one day find the cave near Spring Valley where her great-grandfather (Mads) and two of his sons were forced to live during the winters of 1892 and 1893 after a beleaguered railroad project's contractors twice went broke.
It's my hope to sometime find the cave, said Ibsen.
He had no money and would not accept charity so he dug out a cave in the side of a hill, Ibsen said.
Ibsen related a story about a Methodist shoemaker celebrating Christmas in the cave with Mads and sons.
The conservative visitor forgot himself while waltzing with Mads and it dawned on him he was holy man who was not supposed to dance. He ran out of the cave like a whirlwind.
Unafraid doesn't mean a person is problem-free and it surely doesn't mean to be reckless, Ibsen said. Today's society is bombarded by all kinds of fears and we need to learn to live unafraid with confidence and hope.

Many will assure you that a ghost does live here but he’s said to be a friendly ghost, if there is such a thing.
9. Tennessee-Bell Witch Cave
If you’ve seen the film Blair’s Witch Project, you might be familiar with this haunted cave, located in the forests just north of Nashville. The cave is found next to an old farmhouse that would haunt the Bell family in the early 1800’s. John Bell expressed much concern that his neighbor, Kate Batts, had cursed him after a land dispute and she promised to haunt him and his family. So she did! John died from a strange horrifying illness and she apparently conducted her black magic from this cave. Go ahead take a tour but watch out!

These train tracks just outside of San Antonio were reportedly the location of a tragic school bus accident and see the ghosts of children lingering around. Here in this photo, you see the railroad crossing what someone claims to be the ghost floating around.
7. Utah-Rio Grande Depot
This location is reportedly haunted by several ghosts but the most notable one is the purple lady, whose orbs form a unique purple haze. The woman threw her onto the train tracks at this depot during an argument with her husband. After going to retrieve it, she was struck by a train, leading to her demise. Security guards still claim to feel her presence at this depot in Salt Lake City.
6. Vermont- Southern Vermont College
If you want to become a paranormal investigator, this might certainly be the place you want to get a scholarship to. Even the college webpage itself recognizes the legends of a haunting history after a murder took place in a tower near campus. Security guards at the school claim there’s a sad ghost named Anna who’s made her presence rather clear.
5. Virginia-Peyton Randolph House
With Virginia’s colonial history, it should come to no surprise that some of the first settlers are still roaming around in this state. Located in Williamsburg, our nation’s first capital, this building is now a historic house museum. After Peyton Randolph constructed the house in 1715, his kids began mysteriously becoming ill or were simply lost. Not only was this house built upon two native american burial grounds, it was used as a hospital during the civil war. Walking around the streets late at night in this historic town, many have seen ghosts
4. Washington- Sorrento Hotel
Located in the city of Seattle, many claim this to be the most haunted hotel in the world. Many claim that the writer Alice B. Toklas haunted the hotel and is seen wandering the hotel late at night.
3. West Virginia-Trans-Allegheny Asylum
Creepy tours are offered at this former lunatic asylum where thousands of the most mentally insane americans were kept during the 1800’s. The patients would stay here until they were safe to be introduced to society. Creepy operations like lobotomies would take place here quite often where a part of someone’s brain was removed, turning them essentially into zombies. Other treatments like electroshock were experimented with at this facility.
2. Wisconsin- Pfister Hotel
This extravagant hotel located in the city of Milwaukee was built in 1893 in victorian style. It’s rumored to be haunted by former baseball players that once stayed here while on the road and also by the guy who built it, Charles Pfister. Is it a true haunted or maybe just some tourists who had too much Milwaukee beer?
1.Wyoming-Occidental Hotel
This spooky hotel located in the US’s least populated state, was built back in the 1800’s to welcome those who were heading west. It’s been visited by American legends such as Theodore Roosevelt and Buffalo Bill. However, the dark past with prostitution at this location has made it teeming with ghosts! One of them still haunts the hallways and is described as a woman with long black hair, wearing a spooky white gown.

SUMMARY
=======
Cockshutt was a large tractor and machinery manufacturer, known as Cockshutt Farm Equipment Limited (1957–1962), based in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
Founded as the Brantford Plow Works by James G. Cockshutt in 1877, the name was changed to the Cockshutt Plow Company when it was incorporated in 1882. After James died shortly thereafter, his brother William Foster Cockshutt took over as president. He remained until 1888, when another brother, Frank Cockshutt, became president of the company. In 1910, Henry Cockshutt, the youngest of the brothers, took over the leadership of the company. Under his direction, the company was able to obtain financing for acquisitions and expansion.
Known for quality designs, the company became the leader in the tillage tools sector by the 1920s.
