Guri Endresen-Rosseland was honored among the early settlers of the Solomon Lake community, who were predominantly immigrants from Hardanger, Norway and were noted for their courage and faith in Almighty God. During the Sioux Indian Uprising of 1862, a band of Indians attacked the Endresen cabin, killing her husband, Lars, and a son, Endre. Guri Endresen escaped with her infant daughter, Anna, by hiding in the cellar. After the attackers left, she hitched the family oxen to a cart and set out with her child for refuge at Forest City, some thirty miles away. Along the way she stopped at the homes of other settlers, attending to the needs of those wounded in the massacre, and took some with her, traveling entirely by darkness. Following the submission of Chief Little Crow and his warriors, she returned to the family homestead to rebuild her home. The cabin and graves are preserved at the Guri Endresen Cabin Site, located two miles west of the church at the end of the marked trail. The Vikor Lutheran Congregation was organized at the Endresen cabin in 1871 and was named after the Vikor Church in Norway, which was built by Lars Endresen.
