10. Grubb-gården - Grubb farm

Bogg Anders var äldst i syskonskaran. Han gifte sig med moderns brorsdotter, Grubb Maria, som var nästan tio år yngre.
Deras hem Grubbgården, "dait i Grubb", låg bara hundra meter öster om Boggdammen. Intill ån rinner det upp flera källor, så färskvatten fanns det gott om, men höskörden kan inte ha varit stor. Marken var oerhört stenig. En av ängarna kallades "Pained", "Pinan", en annan kallades "Nord i Folled", ”Ängen vid norra trädfällningen”. Namnen talade för sig själva. Livet var hårt.
Paret hoppades på ett bättre liv. Fyrtiofyra år gammal lämnade Anders och Maria Gåsvarv med fem barn i åldrarna fyra till fjorton år. De köpte en gård i St Tuna. De timrade små husen såldes och själva marken köptes av Bogg Maria. Hon ägde nu tre andelar.

Så sent sent som på 50-talet kom det ibland "kusiner" från södra Dalarna och hälsade på. Erik, en av sönerna bosatte sig i Orsa.

GRUBB FARM

Bogg Anders was the oldest of the children. He married his mother’s brother’s daughter, Grubb Maria, who was nearly ten years younger. Their home, Grubb Farm, ‘dait i Grubb’, lay barely a hundred meters east of the Bogg dam. Along the brook were several springs and fresh water was plentiful.
The hay harvest could not have been large since the soil was unusually stony. One of the fields was called ‘pained – torture’; another ‘north of hell’, and one, ‘meadow with several fallen trees’. The names spoke for themselves. Life was hard.
The couple hoped for a better life. At forty-four years of age Anders and Maria left Gåsvarv with five children aged four to fourteen years. They purchased a farm in St Tuna. The small log houses were sold and the land itself was purchased by Bogg Maria. She now owned three plots.
As late as the nineteen fifties, cousins from south Dalarna came and visited. Erik, one of the sons established himself in Orsa.
