Anders homesteaded on an acreage northwest of Ceresco. Nils Trued homesteaded nearby. He was completely "taken" with the young Mathilda. They were married when she was 17 at the home of her parents, Anders and Charlotta Walin. Life was very hard for her as Nils worked in Lincoln as a tailor. He often walked home to spend weekends with his family. Their first three children were born in a dugout. Mathilda often struggled with Indians, rattlers, prairie fires and the rigors of pioneer life.
