Henry Godfredson was born to Hans and Annine Godfredson, who had come to America in the 1890s. They farmed for a short time in Iowa and Minnesota before coming to Barnes County about 1901. They purchased a farm in Rariton Township, the northwest quarter of Section 12. Here they raised five children -Wiimar, Esther (Mrs. O. J. Wadeson), Hjalmer, Henry and Lynn.

Lucca had just been moved from its first location about one and one-quarter miles southeast of its present location. The farm home on the Godfredson farm was from Old Lucca and is still in use.

Hans Godfredson fashioned a flagpole for the Lucca school from a single timber about thirty feet long. The flagpole was moved to the Raymond Stangler farm when the Lucca school closed and the Stars and Stripes still flies proudly from the pole.
